Is it possible for so much land to erode away that the earth will only be left with oceans?
I was just reading in a silly little Facebook article that there is a theory that the Appalachian Mountains may have begun as they valley points of even older mountains which have since eroded away in to fertile valleys. I’m not sure if it’s true, but taking in to account that the Appalachian Mountains are the oldest on earth (and the erosion they’ve faced in the billions of years since they’ve existed,) I’m wondering if it’s possible that all land may one day be eroded by various causes to a levers where the Earth might one day become entirely covered in ocean?
Thank you for your input!
