Millions of years might actually be involved in forming the topography we see. But if that is the case, then there are anomalies that occasionally surface. For example, there appear to be eyewitness accounts in myths and legends that refer to massive geological processes.
Rather than the slow processes of plate tectonics, wind, and weather there is another process that can cause exactly the same events but in an almost instantaneous period: electric discharge, or "spark machining." Electric currents might once have flowed through Earth's conductive strata with energies like nothing we know today.
Evidence can be found on Earth and throughout the Solar System.
For instance, the Huangshang or Yellow Mountains in China is sacred mountain range with hundreds of spires that taper at the top. This range is not a soft sandstone but a hard granite type rock.
A typical explanation would be that the range has been pushed up by plate tectonics. Cracks have appeared and freezing water has done the rest. Plausible.
However, a close look at the tops of the peaks reveals structures that cause one to question whether water could have formed them. Stone obelisks of rock almost 100 meters high alongside smaller versions reveal that they are pointed, not weathered and rounded. Water erosion?
An alternate explanation is that this is an example of electrical machining from an upward flow of electricity. A planetary-scale discharge pulled material to this region and pulled it up. The strong electric field etched the surface and carried the debris into space.
Some characteristics that indicate a discharge are hard to miss. A three-way intersection of a valley that has very little outflow compared with the intersecting valleys: Mount Banks, Mount Hay, and Lockleys Pylon. An impressed helical pattern can be discerned, and on top of each formation is a giant lightning blister. The area is a popular tourist destination in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia.
Many Pictures of the Day have discussed geological anomalies that can only be explained through electricity machining Earth's surface. Of course this leads to an uncomfortable conclusion that our planet as we see it today isn't that old.

"Of course this leads to an uncomfortable conclusion that our planet as we see it today isn't that old."
How so ? If those "electrical carving" events are rare -which they undoubtfully are/were, seeing as that kind of wonderful landscape isn't that common on Earth-, then it doesn't change anything to the age of other geological event. Maybe those mountains are only a million years old and were created in hours/days (and I find it nice to believe, there's some kind of "aura" around such an event, don't you think ?), but how does it mean the planet ain't billions of years old ? Sediments found in oceans, fossiles... all of those aren't concerned by this, are they ?
A lot of geological formations could be re-examined with an eye towards catastrophic upheavals.
It doesn't have to be completely electromagnetic in nature. A large enough comet could modify land elevation through gravitational forces if it passed close enough.
That would be highly unlikely since gravitational forces would be insufficient, if a asteroid/meteorite/comet would just pass earth (a planetoid maybe, but that would modify more than elevation of land).One of the main points of EU hypothesis, as you know, is that weak gravity isnt the predominant force in universe.
I have studied geology and the processes that shape the earth and my opinion is that all rock formations which I have seen can be explained by conventional geological processes.
"they are pointed, not weathered and rounded..."
Rock fracturing caused by ice wedging, plant roots, and chemical weathering creates jagged edges. I don't know how you could assume they are "not weathered". Granite type rocks almost always fracture into sharp edges.
If electricity was shaping the rock, it would bear evidence of this such as scorching, melting, or altered chemical composition. Your argument is based on speculation over rock morphology. As long as we're relying on speculation, I think that electrical arc weathering would make the objects more rounded than conventional weathering. Look at an old spark plug to see why.
"and on top of each formation is a giant lightning blister"
It is quite common for lightning to strike the top of tall objects, especially mountains, I don't see how this is significant.
"Many Pictures of the Day have discussed geological anomalies that can only be explained through electricity machining Earth's surface."
What pictures are you referring to? Why can they only be explained by electrical machining? How could you know how electrical machining would affect rock if it were to occur?
The burden of proof is on your shoulders. Its not enough to simply assure the readers that the evidence exists, we need to see it. I would love to see more evidence, especially the pictures of formations that cant be explained by anything but electrical discharge. Please prove me wrong.
