Reverted edit. I somehow didn't notice "Specifically, the suggestive terms are"

2605:B100:E01F:D973:89A1:61B6:7778:8EC8: "Huge" is a normal word and "orogeny" is The process of mountain forming, or a period in which mountains are formed.

"Huge" is a normal word and "orogeny" is The process of mountain forming, or a period in which mountains are formed.

172.70.90.190: /* Explanation */ Typo (nor<=not). And, to note in passing, I do pronounce them as "butt" buttes (geologists probably laugh at me), butt(s), buttresses and all the rest. ;)

 So it seems that Megan tells Cueball to ignore the layers in the rock, as there is evidence that the valley they are in is a recent rift valley. It was formed in cracking following the lifting up of the surrounding rocks.
