A third geologic evidence for the Flood is that sediment layers, sometimes miles deep, are spread across vast areas and deposited rapidly. One example is the famous Grand Canyon in Arizona. The rock layers exposed in the canyon walls belong to six very thick, distinctive sequences of sedimentary rock layers that can be traced across the entire continent of North America. In other cases, some sedimentary rock layers can be traced across different continents. For instance, the chalk beds of southern England can be traced into other European countries, all the way to the Middle East. Coal deposits stretch from North America to Europe to Asia. These sediment layers were put down rapidly as well; evidence shows that they happened in a matter of hours or days. This fits the biblical record of the Flood and the massive geologic upheaval that occurred.
