Suggestion for Jazzns
When Faith talks about erosion leaving a flat surface, I wonder if she might be thinking about uneven rates of erosion due to different hardnesses of the material being eroded. For example, here's a photo from Monument Park in Arizona:

She might be wondering why the layers of the Grand Canyon have no buried structures like this that were first eroded into this uneven shape, then covered over again by deposition.

Re: Memo to Faith
Usually there's a peanut gallery thread for each GD thread. Isn't this it? If so, it should probably be moved to the [forum=-14] forum. Or a new peanut gallery thread could be opened there.

Unfortunately the picture isn't available to me, either because my computer isn't powerful enough or because the website shut it down, which could be the case as when I click on "enlarge" it says it's unavailable.

Hmmm. I wonder if it could be the file's size that's a problem. Might your ISP or your browser be filtering picture's larger than a certain limit. That picture's around 125K.

Here's a smaller one of about 25K that's sort of similar:
