Don't confuse tectonics with sedimentation and erosion

| Dec 7, 2020 at 2:03 | comment | added | John | please don't confuse tectonics with sedimentation and erosion. Almost nothing humans have made will be subjected to subduction. | |

I've never arbitrarily edited a stack exchange post before, but the word 'Havestable' was hurting my soul. Then I talked about it because they said I needed to change 6 characters which is weird.

It is like asking what will be salvageable from a chessboard after the table it is resting on will have been through a surface planer. | |
| Jul 7, 2018 at 20:13 | comment | added | J F | I’m pretty sure plate tectonics doesn’t work that quickly. Dinosaur fossils are far more than 1.8 million years old, yet they haven’t all been melted down by plate tectonics. I interpreted the article as saying that’s the oldest uneroded piece of land on Earth, meaning that other areas may be older, but they’ve experienced at least some erosion. | |
