I mean, really the only thing that’s gonna expose them is plate tectonics. Just to give a sense of scale, America and Europe are diverging by 4 cm/yr, so will be 500 metres farther from each other, horizontally, in about 10,000 years. Geologically stable regions (called cratons) would not experience such motion vertically for much, much, much longer.
