VIII.—On Plagioclinal Mountains

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The object of this paper is to show that the received explanations of the structure of mountain chains will not account for the formation of certain Precambrian ranges, and to state facts in support of a new theory of the origin of some mountains. A brief summary of the ordinary views of the subject will first be necessary.
