Whether this is accurate or not about where the ark landed, just look at the photo. You should easily see deposition and erosion all over the place! Then find other mountains, canyons, etc., in which deposition and erosion are visible.
This lab shows a small-scale demonstration of the power of water and wind to erode and transport sediment. Think about the research paper you are writing about Noah’s Flood. In Genesis 7:11-12, 19 the Bible says, “…on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. And rain fell upon the Earth forty days and forty nights…And the waters prevailed so mightily on the Earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.” Then when the flood ended, the waters receded and dry land began to appear (Gen. 8:3-5). That is A LOT of moving water with A LOT power to rapidly erode and change the landscape of the Earth! Based on your research, can you think of where we see evidence today of the rapid erosion and deposition of sediments that were produced by Noah’s Flood and the events that followed? State your answer in 2-3 complete sentences and include the source of your information.

Looking for explanations of myths seems to be an unending adventure, especially since the myth itself not based on evidence. A world-wide deluge, such as described in Genesis, is incompatible with modern scientific understanding of natural history, especially geology and paleontology.
Wondering if there ever was a world-wide flood, where would the water run off to?
