Now you're not even making sense. Your out-of-order anomalies are all going be some variation of extreme tectonic folding. Worse, you are not addressing why so many features are completely incompatible with a flood interpretation.

Why aren't all lavas (below some point) pillow lavas, as they should have been extruded under water? In fact, features of normal land life are visible up and down the geologic column from the time life colonized the land. Not just land life forms, but hardened tracks, raindrop imprints, glacial scarring, sandstorm residue, crystallized salt, fossilized dung, etc. These things do not form or harden under water.

Why so many layers with such obviously different histories? You can't account for all the kind of things below with a flood story.

While the specific example is fictional (to illustrate relative dating principles), it's not unrepresentative.

Remember it's a drawing, a hypothetical case.

But all such formations do not require long periods of time but rather lots of activity during a short period of time.

Non-pillow lava would be formed before being deluged, and after waters recede before subsequent secondary overflow, ie: tides of mud. Entirely within Biblical framework.

The only difference in activity is the time-scale. And the overwhelming majority of strata show no erosion between layers. Erosion between layers and subsequent infilling would certainly happen if these layers were all being laid down over vast time-spans.

All of the rest could happen in a very short period of an earth-shaping catastrophic, tectonic, volcanic and cyclonic maelstrom and thermal fluctuations, some before deluge, some during and some after, some before upheaval, during and after, etc.
