With no background in the subject my assumption is that it would be more punctuated or abrupt for water. However I don't think it would be two lines for the troughs vs crests. I'd assume it would just be general water height. The reason is that water would obviously erode much quicker than air. Add on that the water level is much more definite than air and how high dust would get within the air to increase erosion.
Again, no background expertise. Just what I'd guess in the given subject in general.
I'm going to throw a little bit of a curveball at ya. Most of the damage to the pyramids in Giza isn't from erosion. They were originally covered in white limestone and the tops were capped in hammered gold. An earthquake sometime in the early 1300s began dislodging the limestone and from about 1600 to about 1800 a quarry was established in Giza and the gold and limestone were removed.
I thought the Roman’s started taking the gold like 2000 years ago?
