| Feb 16, 2021 at 15:36 | comment | added | John | @nick012000 reread the OP, they are not looking for biome changes but mountain building and moving continents. erosion cannot do what the OP is asking for. erosion is powerful but it cannot move a continent. | |

| Feb 14, 2021 at 2:23 | comment | added | John | @spencer huge yes but the effect they have on the outline and position of continents is practically non-existent. the grand canyon is tiny compared to the results of the largest volcanic eruptions. | |

| Feb 13, 2021 at 23:37 | comment | added | Spencer | @John but it happens all over the world, all the time. On aggregate, it's huge. | |
| Feb 13, 2021 at 19:08 | comment | added | John | all those are pretty small scale on the terms of continents. | |
