Summations Only

There are lots of political forums out there that appear to think our current President is incapable of error. One of those would probably welcome you if you could tie your geological musings in with Trumpism.

I wonder if it could have anything at all to do with continents being largely sites of net erosion, what with being up high?Right at this moment we’re having a bit of erosion and deposition here locally! It’s raining, and dirt is getting carried down to, say, Red Lake. That alleged lake experiences this a couple of times a year, and gains a little-bitty mini-stratum of red dirt every time. Then the water evaporates and leaves a little crust of gypsum on top. Just like the dirt/gypsum couplets for who knows how many feet beneath. A lot like the red rock/gypsum layers a few miles away that are fifty or five thousand feet below the surface! Hmmmm!
