A description is given of the Valley and Ridge Province of Southwest Virginia, including thrust faults, thrust blocks, folded mountains, and windows or "fensters" present in the region. Interpretations which various geologists have given to the area are discussed. These include descriptions of the Cumberland Overthrust, the Kent Window east of Wytheville, as well as other areas. I discuss the plate tectonics (continental drift) scenario as it has been applied to the region, and offer an alternative scenario involving the Genesis Flood, gravity slides, and other agents. I point out the missing strata from the Pennsylvanian, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods, and most of the Cenozoic Era. I discuss the inconsistency of this with establishment defined geological time.
