Abstract

After describing the failures of uniformitarian geologists to explain the geomorphology of the Weald (Oard and Matthews, 2015), we now present an explanation using a Flood geology paradigm. Seven key geomorphological features of the Weald have to be simultaneously explained: (1) the volume of the erosion; (2) the pattern producing erosion surfaces, ridges, crenulations, and water and wind gaps; (3) evidence for river capture; (4) underfit water gaps; (5) range of dry valleys; (6) the origin of clay-with-flints; and (7) the origin of the duricrusts and sarsen stones. We identify the uniformitarian assumptions that have led to the failure of their theories. Replacing these assumptions with a Flood-geology model allows us to provide an explanation for these seven challenging features.
