According to estimates made from mapping and correlation, the Queenston Delta contains more than 600,000 km3 of rock eroded from the Taconic Highlands. Based on this figure, geologists estimate the Taconic Highlands were at least 4,000 m high. They also estimate that the Catskill Delta (see Chapter 11) contains three times as much sediment as the Queenston Delta. From what you know about the geographic distribution of the Taconic Highlands and the Acadian Highlands (see Chapter 11), can you estimate how high the Acadian Highlands might have been?
