Due to a complex combination of erosion, weathering, and collapse, a massive height difference of more than 2,600 meters was formed between today's mountain top and the Emei Plain.

在剥蚀 风化 崩塌等复杂作用下终形成今天山顶与峨眉平2600多米的巨大高差。

They drop in the open and are eaten or left to rot or weather down to nothing.

But both are greatly obscured by the forests and underbrush growing upon them, and by the denuding action of rains and melting snows, etc.

Many cases could be given of the lower beds of a formation having been upraised, denuded, submerged, and then re-covered by the upper beds of the same formation—facts, showing what wide, yet easily overlooked, intervals have occurred in its accumulation.

可以举出个层的下部层被抬升、 剥蚀、淹没， 然被同层的上部层重新覆盖的许多案例— — 事实表明，在其积累过程中发生多么宽阔但容易被忽视的间隔.

As Lyell has well remarked, the extent and thickness of our sedimentary formations are the result and the measure of the denudation which the earth's crust has elsewhere undergone.

正如莱尔所说的那样， 我们沉积岩层的范围和厚度是壳在其他方经历的剥蚀的结果和衡量标准。
