Your question depends on many complex geologic variables. However, I
think its safe to say that over geologic time the denudation rate and
sedimentation rate is equal. When you think about it, there is no
other conclusion that would be valid. Matter can neither be created or
destroyed.

Sediments just get shifted around.

You know the Earth began as a 'sediment' - A furiously whirling
sediment. And somehow, when all the whirling stopped, it was taken
over by internal combution which is breaking it all up again. ....

There is no plate tectonics on Mars, right? How do you get grabens
developing? How do you get subsidence when there is nowhere to
subside to? The same question applies on Earth. Why are they
recognising it on Mars and not on Earth? What 'paradigm' are they
using? Does it need a tectonic shift in the goalposts, to bring Earth
into line with Mars? http://users.indigo.net.au/don/mars/index.html
