The processes that shape the surface of the earth acts over vast expenses of time - millions, or even billions of years. If we discount, for the moment, catastrophic events such as earthquakes and landslides, the earth's surface seems relatively stable over the timescales we can measure. Historical records do show the slow diversion of a rivers course, and the silting up of estuaries, for example. But usually we would expect images taken a hundred years ago to show a landscape essentially the same as today's. But imagine time speeding up, so that a million years pass in a minute. In this time frame, we would soon lose our concept of 'solid' earth, as we watch the restless surface change out of all recognition. - Earth’s restless surface, Deirdre Janson-Smith, 1996 1 Table of contents 1.
