When looking at a geological timescale, typically ‘the deeper you dig, the older stuff gets’, right?
So, where does this buildup of new sediment come from?
I understand we’re talking about very large timeframes here, but I still dont really get it.

All of these explanations do not explain how dirt is getting on top of ruins and *staying* there.
Water Erosion is relentless and beats out anything landing ‘on top’ of ruins. The exception is when ruins are in a jungle climate.
The explanations in this chat seem to think you can leave dust or dirt on top of a large stone surface and have it stay there.
Water erosion and gravity all *pulls things down*, it doesn’t leave stuff on top.
I work with water erosion, and personally find it hard to believe any of the dust comments in here.
