To best answer your question regarding the scale of change that has taken place with Thor’s hammer over 80 years, I would suggest the following statement:

"Rapid changes happened in the past but the rock formation currently isn’t experiencing any additional changes."

This indicates that notable alterations may have occurred in the geological past, but in the present time frame of 80 years, there have been no significant changes.

As for matching images to time options (Present time, 1 million years ago, 2 million years ago, and 3 million years ago), without seeing the actual images, I can only provide general guidelines on how they might relate to those time periods:

  • Present time: Image showing the current state of the rock formation.
  • 1 million years ago: Image that might showcase significant geological changes compared to the present but not as drastic as older eras.
  • 2 million years ago: Image that would likely depict more dramatic geological features and perhaps more erosion.
  • 3 million years ago: Image that would represent very ancient geological structures or formations, likely substantially different from both the present and 1 million years ago.

If you provide specific details or descriptions of the images in question, I can assist you further in matching them to the appropriate time periods.
