@@The_DC_Kid Yes it is. Upheaval lifts the crust upward from the bottom. Water erodes the uplifted crust so the uplift is downlowered from the top. Water washes it into the oceans. The oceans floors gather crust material and get heavier and pushing the ocean floors downward. When an ocean crust meats a landmass crust the ocean crust is what gets subducted. When two oceans crust meets the heavier ocean crust gets subducted. The more crust that is suducted the more material the mantle has to cause upheaval and/or volcanoes. Like it or not, erosion by water or air is part of the geological process.

Or the couple who " accidentally" too close to some grizzly cubs to pet them.....

People should not be building roads, or buildings, right by rivers, lakes and other bodies of water, and especially if there are also mountains, and/or cliffs, that abut such places. Moreover, there needs to be more reservoirs in that part of the country anyway, as having things like that are good safety measures against droughts, as well as wildfires. Granted, building tunnels into mountains might be more expensive, as well as somewhat more limiting, but do you all want washed out roads or do you all want roads that are more likely to stay open through both massive floods AND blizzards?

Wish they would just leave Yellowstone alone. Get away from it and let the animals live without people
