Massive erosion was caused due to the Age floods acceleration across the tilted surface of the Palouse slope that resulted in the creation of channelled scablands.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Massive erosion was caused because of the Age floods acceleration that occurs across the Palouse slope’s surface that resulted in the creation of channelled scablands. The eroded sediments were carried to the Pacific Ocean.  

A huge lake known as Lake Missoula was formed during the Pleistocene Ice Ages and the lobes of ice that melt water from the glacier. Mostly the water over flowed the ice dam, forcing it to rise and break thereby creating a huge flood, that carved out both the channelled scablands as well as the Columbia River Gorge.

Why is putting rock layers in order by age useful to geologist?
iVinArrow [24]
Rock layers in order is basically natures calendar.

The highest layer is the newest formed layer 
While the deepest layer was the oldest and probably has been there from some time
And everything in between goes accordingly

So putting rocks in order by age helps scientists better understand what was there before what and how the rocks changed over time.

Hope this helps!
Brailiest is always appreciated if you feel its deserved! :)
