If the catastrophic model is correct, then naturally, there should be an abundance of evidence for catastrophic washouts. And this is indeed the case.
The vast canyons, valleys, and hill relics of the world and the remnants of vast inland water systems that we find in various places all favor catastrophic rather than uniformitarian formation.
Geologists have been forced to admit to catastrophic formation of some of the great landscape scars that occur on every continent. In many cases, geologists have even had their definitions and concept of land formation proven questionable.
Only recently, geologists have finally accepted that the great Dry Falls of the Columbia River are of catastrophic origin. The Goosenecks of the Colorado River, too, have had their explanation of origins modified. Fast erosion is known to give a V-shaped channel, while slow erosion in a meandering riverbed tends to have undercutting on the outer circumference of a bend, and deposition on the inner circumference. Both features are distinctly visible in the Goosenecks showing that two different mechanisms have contributed to the formation of the channel.
Also, the claim that meandering rivers are slow moving has been proven to be unsubstantiated by the huge canyon formed at Kanab Creek in a few hours during a recent flood.
