How many years a mountain can exist before it is washed to the sea?
It depends on what the mountain is made of and whether or not it is still being uplifted. The schist rock at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was once at the bottom of island mountain. In that sense, the mountain still partially exists. The age of the rock--between 1.8 and 2 billion years old.

How does a sea erode?
There are four main ways in which the coast can be eroded by the sea:Hydraulic action:lots of sea water crashes against the land, causing air and water to become trapped and compressed in surface cracks. When the sea retreats the air expands, weakening the cracks in the rock and causing pieces of the rock to break off.Corrasion: caused by bits of rock hitting the cliffs and other parts of the land, causing more bits of rock to break off.Attrition: rock fragments grind each other down into smaller and smoother pebbles and eventually into sand which is then deposited on the beaches.Corrosion: involves the chemical action of sea on rock, often happens with limestone beaches, when the limestone dissolves in the sea water although the salt can affect some other stones as well.
