Denudation of the Americas Alters Sea Floor Time Frame
Professor Reade reports to the Liverpool Geological Society that 150 million tons of dissolved matter flow from the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico each year. This would cut the land denudation time in the basin from 6,000 to 4,500 years for one foot of terrain. Similar figures for La Plata, Amazon, and St. Lawrence suggest about 100 tons per square mile annually across the Americas, aligning with prior European results and implying Atlantic drainage from multiple continents would yield a cubic mile of rock every six years if dissolved matter were solidified.
