06. Erosion of the sedimentary cover of the Ancient Planet.

With the destruction of the Ancient Planet, the formation of the sedimentary cover ceases and erosion begins.For reasons, erosion can be divided into species:

1. A large stream of water, swept across the surface of the Earth after the destruction of the ancient planet. This reason is significant. Huge scales of erosion in a short time.

2. Erosion caused by rainfall. It is also significant, but it acts more slowly and constantly.

3. Erosion of the coastline of the continents due to large waves of storms.

I will show in the pictures all kinds of erosion.

1. Erosion from a large flow of water.

"Table mountains" are the surviving parts of the sedimentary cover of the Ancient Planet. Primordial surface of the ocean floor of the Ancient Planet prior to erosion After the destruction of the planet, a huge amount of ocean water merged from the surface of the continent. This movement of the water masses was so significant that it produced a maximum of all the observed erosion, in a short time.

"Tepui are flat mountains on the Guiana Highlands in South America, in particular, in Venezuela. In the region of Gran Sabana there are 115 such table mountains. They are located in the southeast of Venezuela, where most of the tepuy is concentrated. Consist of a durable sandstone. "

Photo-176. Mount Roraima - the most famous and highest Venezuelan tepui, reaching a height of 2810 meters. It is located at the junction of Brazil (Roraima), Venezuela and Guyana (the highest point of the country). The surface area of the plateau is 30 km².

2. Erosion caused by rainfall.

Pouring rain, the sedimentary rocks of the ocean floor of the Ancient Planet are being destroyed intensely. Rivers, are carried to the oceans and seas. Form secondary sedimentary deposits inside the continents, until the river does not break through the outlet to the sea.

Photo-201. Solid removal of the 22 largest rivers of the planet.

The Huanghe River is the largest percentage of the "hard discharge" in the water runoff. Blurs more, but two-thirds of the destroyed rocks do not reach the sea, settling in the inner regions of the mountains. For the time being, until the time.

It is impossible to stop river erosion.

I am objected that dams of hydroelectric power stations prevent river erosion. No, do not interfere. The reservoir in front of the dam becomes shallow, and there comes a time when its volume is not enough to accumulate the necessary amount of water. Clearing the reservoir from the hard removal of rivers is a task so expensive that makes hydroelectric power not profitable. Therefore, the problem of siltation of the reservoir is solved by damming the dam. The water carries away the silt, accumulated for decades, for several days.The demolition of the dam Marmot in the US after 100 years of operation. For a day the water took away all the silt that accumulated a century. (Video with bookmark)  https://youtu.be/_KK7hbTiBgQ?t=956).

There are rivers that do not have runoff into the ocean.

For example, in Africa and Europe. The Volga flows into the Caspian Sea and does not have a solid discharge into the ocean. But this fact does not affect the overall picture of erosion. Anyway, the sedimentary cover of the Ancient Planet is destroyed, and the continent is hidden under water. The Caspian Sea is 28 meters below the world ocean level. When the level of the world's ocean rises by 250 meters, displaced by the hard discharge of rivers, the inner part of the continent, where the Caspian Sea is now, remains deeply under water.

Underground rivers.

Seeping into sedimentary rocks (limestones, gypsum), the water flushes underground empty cavities - caves. All the largest caves of the world are in limestone, gypsum.

Karst failures.

When the critical dimensions of the caves are reached, the vaults fail. Karst dips appear on the surface of the earth. They are all over the Earth. Dips occur constantly, every day.

Landslides.

The abundant precipitation softens the sedimentary rocks, leading to landslides.

Glaciers.

3. Erosion of the coastline of continents due to large waves.

Ocean and sea waves irreversibly destroy the coastline.

07. Age of the Earth.

Erosion from the movement of large masses of water. River erosion. Landslides. Karst failures. Erosion of the coastline of the oceans.

Continents are rapidly destroyed. The process of destruction is directed and irreversible. 6.4 km3 of rock is carried by rivers to the oceans every year.

At such a rate, erosion will destroy the continental plates to the level of the ocean, in just 15 million years !!!

Based on an estimate of the time left before the complete destruction of the continents and the still undamaged surface of the ocean floor of the Ancient Planet (sedimentary cover), it is easy to assume that our planet is very young and its lifetime is measured in just a few million years.
