Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Papaia and Ravioli are talking about a book Banani found, on the geological evidence of Noah\u2019s flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: We said the book gives four examples. What’s the first?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: The layers beneath the Tapeats Sandstone were rapidly eroded and then broadly scraped flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: First rapidly eroded, and then flattened? Two distinct processes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yep\u2026 and we know this erosion happened on a large scale because we can see its effects from one end of the Grand Canyon to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: So, not a local phenomenon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Exactly! This massive erosion affected many different underlying rock layers\u2014granites and metamorphic rocks, and tilted sedimentary layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: But how do we prove it was large-scale erosion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: There are two pieces of evidence that this large-scale erosion was rapid. First, we see no signs of weathering beneath the boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: If there had been weathering, we\u2019d expect to find soil layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: But there aren\u2019t any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Second, we find boulders and formations known as \u201cstorm beds\u201d in the Tapeats Sandstone above the boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: It says here that storm beds are sand layers with unique internal features produced only by storms, like hurricanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He points at a paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Boulders and storm beds don\u2019t deposit slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Did someone say \u201cstorm\u201d? Like the one that\u2019s about to hit\u2026 when your evaluation lands on the boss\u2019s desk! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
