Well, according to my good friend google, like this.Quote:

They are receding at an average rate of about 1 cm per year; it being a relatively resistant rock (although vulnerable to chemical weathering). The height of the rocks is a product of both sea level change (which has decreased on the order of hundreds of meters since these rocks were laid down) and isostatic equilibrium - whereby ice-shelf loading and unloading has resulted in the uplift of material in the last few tens of thousands of years in Northern Europe.Combine with this the fact that there was a land bridge between the mainland and the UK until just a few thousand years ago and you can come to realise that modern landforms are really quite ephemeral features.

I an flattered that you think helping my grandfather attend to many small grassfires in the 1950s makes me an expert. :)Quote:

So anything that doesn't support your point of view, is a personal attack? [bighmmm]Quote:

Whoever would have thought that was possible?Quote:
