How does the metaphor in the line "it grew, a starlit flag unfurled! " in the last stanza affect the poem

The metaphor in the final stanza has two effects. "A starlit flag unfurled" compares the land to a flag.

On one level, this metaphor conveys the power of finally seeing land after all that time at sea. One light becomes an entire starlit flag. The hope that one light gives is power.

However, there is a much deeper level to this metaphor. It likens the land to the American flag, indicating he had both seen land and discovered a nation simultaneously. At this point, Columbus "gained a world."

I’m just thinking something from the top of my head so it may not be much so if weathering didn’t exist, there wouldn’t be anything to break up earth’s crust naturally. so by assumptions, the rocks on earth would be larger than they actually are since there’s nothing to break them up into smaller parts.overall, i’m not really sure, but all i know is that it’ll mess up the rock cycle that we have now.hoped this .
