There was one other major problem with Earth theories that no one had resolved, or even come close to resolving. That was the question of where all the sediments went. Every year the Earth’s rivers carried massive volumes of eroded material—500 million tonnes of calcium, for instance—to the seas. If you multiplied the rate of deposition by the number of years it had been going on, you arrived at a disturbing figure: there should be about 20 kilometres of sediments on the ocean bottoms—or, put another way, the ocean bottoms should by now be well above the ocean tops. Scientists dealt with this paradox in the handiest possible way. They ignored it.
