Curious on the YEC explanation of basalt layering that are often exposed in river canyons particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Typically many layers are noticable with depositional layers in between. This formation (not even considering the time require to cut thru the basalt to form canyons) is a slam dunk indicator of looooong time periods.
On a recent vacation I snapped this
picture from Yellowstone national park. Which of the deposition layers here are represented by the flood? How about the time to cut a canyon thru this hard rock several times?
The above sample is a modest example I have seen canyons in Washington state with over a dozen distinct flows.
