Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of Mountain Ranges Considered Experimentally, Structurally, Dynamically, and in Relation to Their Geological History Tar Origin of mountain-ranges is a problem that has the crust of the Earth has been systematically studied. Standing this, I know of no work in the English language devoted entirely to a consideration of this important subject, or containing what may be considered a systematic theory of mountain-building. The line of geological thought in this country has hitherto run more in stratigraphical than dynamical grooves. The American geologists, forced into contact with the stupendous mechanical problems presented by the geology of their continent and great mountain ranges, have devoted considerable practical attention to dynamical geology. Still, scattered through the works of the great masters of geology who have flourished in our own country are to be found the germs of most true geological reasoning, dynamical and otherwise. An attempt such as mine to provide a systematic treatise will probably be considered an ambitious one. Whether the theory here presented to the geological world be the true one or not will hardly be determined by such a consideration. The true test, as of everything geological, is time; and if it be found that the views here set forthbest explain the manifold aspects of Nature, and otherwise meet the conditions of the problem, the ideas will live; if not, they may still survive as partial truths.

Book excerpt: The Origins of Mountains approaches mountains from facts about mountain landscapes rather than theory. The book illustrates that almost everywhere, mountains arose by vertical uplift of a former plain, and by a mixture of cracking and warping by earth movements, and erosion by rivers and glaciers, the present mountainous landscapes were created. It also gives evidence that this uplift only occured in the last few million years, a time scale which does not fit the plate tectonics theory. Another fascinating part of the evidence, shows that mountain uplift correlates very well with climatic change. Mountain building could have been responsible for the onset of the ice age. It certainly resulted in the creation of new environments. Fossil plants and animals are used in places to work out the time of mountain uplift, which in turn helps to explain biogeographical distributions.

Book excerpt: Unorthodox in his approach, John W. De Lano presents an exciting and provocative account that leads us to a common sense understanding of how the Earth developed the mountain systems we see today. This book provides an alternative unified hypothesis about the Earth which explains its major features and puts traditional theories including "continental drift" and "seafloor spreading" to the test. It calls into question speculative theories of the mid-oceanic ridges and explains, through a comprehensive evaluation of GPS and sampling data, the natural flow that created both the mid-oceanic ridges and the fold mountain systems around the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Surface-History of the Earth The Surface History dealt with in this book is based directly upon two great recent advances in our knowledge of the earth's crust: the Radioactivity of the Rocks and Isostasy. The nature of both are herein discussed and explained. Both are recognized to-day by most men of science as facts. These two fundamental elements of the surface constitution of the globe lead naturally to certain great events which at long intervals are recurrent in the history of. The earth's surface. Such are (a) the slow advance of transgressional seas upon the continents; those seas in which the sandstones and limestones, &c., so common over all parts of the land surface, have been laid down (5) the retrogression of those seas taking place after many millions of years and then, finally, (6) the rising of the mountain ranges, built mainly of the sediments which were collected in the depths of the former continental waters. For the genesis of the mountains great lateral as well as vertical forces are required, and these also arise naturally out of those fundamental elements of surface structure: Radioactivity and Isostasy. In the course of this history we recognize eras of tensile crust - stresses changing gradually to eras of compressive stresses. Inter 4124 we find an explanation of the limited scale of the surface relief of the earth; of the causes which have controlled the allocation of land and water upon the globe; and of the major geographical relations of continents and oceans.

From one day to another the inhabitants of the same place - let us rather say the inhabitants of the same latitude - see the sun ascend above the horizon to variable heights. The points in the east and west where the radiant body rises and sets change their places, the sun at noon attains a greater or lesser alti tude. And the length of its daily sojourn above the hori zon gives to the days and nights their variable and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
