Extract

In this paper I purpose giving a few examples to show the powerful influences which have been exerted by Earth-movements in producing changes in the rocks, and in obliterating the evidences of succession in some of the disturbed areas in Wales and Shropshire. For a long time past it has been well known that certain changes such as cleavage, etc., have been induced in the rocks in Wales and elsewhere by pressure, but only of late years has the magnitude of the results due to Earth-movements been fully understood.
