the effects of episodic landslides and collapses, averaged over time.... i am a catastrophist, see! none of this uniformitarianism, 10% of the events create 90% of the observed results.

The impact of swinging tools in chalk is the same as swinging tools in ice... a temporary crater. Those cliffs lose meters of depth every year due to ongoing erosion.
What I wonder is if they use a little bag of powdered granite to dry their hands and make tick marks
