The valleys cut their way down to sea level and as this happens the mountains get eroded away to (by rain, ice and wind).

The end stage is that the flatish land surface becomes almost level with the high tide of the sea.

However the sediments eroded away get deposited on the ocean deeps and when the continents crash together again these form new mountains.
