Geologic Column

Landslides, floods, or other events could lead to faster depositing than rain washing loose sand down mountains. I would say the idea is incorrect. They are independent. The are also linked in the same way that the topic of vehicles is related to the topic of highways.

I only take issue with the use of the word all, not that I felt Lyell forgot about anything. Though I should have been specific about Pegs error in word choices (as I do not expect it was Lyells)

I should have seen the other angle that could be taken and I appreciate you pointing it out. I focused on the word "all" however and had flashbacks of creationists pointing a fossilized trees still standing and thinking the only way to deposit sediment quickly is via a world wide flood.
