Not sure where this is going to go....

Erosion can happen in the tremendous, violent, sweeping, scraping of glaciers that create huge canyons where there used to be valleys. Glacial erosion leaves deposits in the form of large moraines which are the rows of broken chunks of rock and sediment. The same erosion occurs on a much smaller scale, drip by drop of water on a flat rock. Eventually, the rock will be worn away to reveal a depression or even break in two. Small drops of water in the same spot over time can eventually leave sediment, building delicate, translucent formations called soda straws. Language, like erosion, experiences large, sweeping changes when countries are conquered and languages collide. Language construction and vocabulary change as the need arises for people to communicate. Just as small drips of water build into large geological stalactites, small changes in language gradually add up to large changes.
