That line is the bottom edge of the drawing by William Smith, it is obviously sea level, where the land meets the water. Yes the strata continue from the horizontally arranged pieces of strata whose tops are clearly broken off, to the strata beneath the line, where they appear to me to be on the soggy side from being underwater.

I described the ENORMOUS geographic extent of the srata that make up the geo column in the Midwest and in the Grand Canyon/Grand Staircase area. Today's sedimentary deposits in a mere lakebed are pathetically small by comparison and couldnlt possibly be a continuation of the geo column.

What part of Arizona? And what depth is shown here? You need a lot more information.

No, nothing is "broken off". The waterline is irrelevant. They're just continuous strata. Yes the strata continue from the horizontally arranged pieces of strata whose tops are clearly broken off....All that are in Hell, choose it. -- CS Lewis That's just egregiously stupid. -- ringo

Pretty odd then that William Smith didn't include them in his cross section.

Huh? The cross-section is exactly what we're talking about - the continuous strata shown in the cross-section. Just pretend the sea level line isn't there. It doesn't add anything to understanding the strata.

The flood would not have laid down many layers, it would have laid down a simple structure with larger stones precipitating out first and, of course no igneous or metamorphic strata. Consider the strata shown by the valley of the Grand Canyon. The flood certainly wouldn't have laid down volcanic basalt at a low level, sandstone in the Bright Angel formation, limestone and dolomite in the Muav formation, shale in the Supai formation, sandstone in the Coconino formation, shale in the Toroweap formation, lava and cinders in the Shivwits and Uinkaret formations and sedimentary rock on top of that lava. And that's just a few of the many, many different layers. I've analyzed the Grand Canyon in great detail. The volcanic action clearly occurred after all the sedimentary strata were in place. The sediments were laid down separately so each layer would be sorted by size within itself, the layers wouldn't sort according to each's overall size. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

That's not the Smith diagram.

Then why are you bringing up a different diagram? The point is that there is nothing "broken off". That's not the Smith diagram.All that are in Hell, choose it. -- CS Lewis That's just egregiously stupid. -- ringo

This is the original cross section by William Smith. The other is an elaboration of it. Sorry, I should have posted it earlier but I wrongly assumed you'd know what I was talking about.
The horizontal line at the bottom is clearly sea level. That line is also drawn on the other diagram, showing that the distorted strata beneath that line are under water. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The short pieces of tilted strata are easier to see on the original Smith cross section. ALL of them in his picture are broken off tilted short pieces of strata. He apparently didn't know that they continue beneath the island so he only drew how they look on the surface.

I think I understand the diagram. (I haven't been corrected by the smart people yet anyway.) What I don't understand is why you think something has been "broken off". It doesn't matter where the water line is. The strata are continuous.

The tops of the strata had to be broken off. Percy says they were eroded off. But they would originally have been long lengths of strata right? They had to be broken off.

They're still long lengths of strata, as I have said. The rest of their length is below sea level but it's still there, continuous. But they would originally have been long lengths of strata right?All that are in Hell, choose it. -- CS Lewis That's just egregiously stupid. -- ringo

They originally had other ends.
