    Continental drift and a theory of convection (1990)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Terra nova 2 (1990), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-3121

    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Early geologists considered that the Earth's surface is rigid and unchanging. They assumed that the whole Earth is static, except for enough sub-surface contraction to build mountains. After seismology developed, most geophysicists agreed. A few scientists, notably Wegener, favoured a more mobile Earth. About 1965 fresh evidence showed that both theories were too simple. This evidence explained why neither theory had been able to relate the whole Earth's behaviour to laws of physics. Hence different aspects of geology had only been solved separately which had fragmented Earth science.This paper proposes a compromise. It is that the rigid lithosphere fractures according to Navier's law of brittle failure which explains the properties and provides methods for classifying faults, plate boundaries and mountains and that the ductile mantle convects by laws of fluid flow in patterns partly controlled by lithospheric fractures. These dual, interacting influences explain tectonic behaviour. The pattern of currents is hidden. At any one time upwelling beneath continents only affects a few limited areas; today some are in southwestern United States, Central Asia, Botswana, Antarctica and rifts in East Africa, Europe and Siberia. Nevertheless recognition of upwelling currents may revolutionize geology because their cumulative effects have been great and neglected.

    Notes: [Auszug] CERTAIN major turning points in the history of science can be called scientific revolutions. Their influence is not confined to science, for they have solved philosophical puzzles and changed economies, but their importance warrants a search for new revolutions. It might be fruitful: history shows ...

    Notes: [Auszug] TRANSFORMS and half-shears. Many geologists1 have J- maintained that movements of the Earth's crust are concentrated in mobile belts, which may take the form of mountains, mid-ocean ridges or major faults with large horizontal movements. These features and the seismic activity along them often ...

    Notes: [Auszug] This the fourth of a series of articles advancing JL the hypothesis that another class of strike-slip faults can exist besides transcurrent faults1-3. Transform faults, as the class has been called, can only exist, and must be expected, if areas of the Earth's crust are being absorbed into the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE occurrence of Upper Cretaceous and early Tertiary lava flows and sedimentary beds on the Atlantic coasts of Scotland, East and West Greenland, and of similar, but younger, rocks on intervening islands led to the expectation that such rocks might be found in North America1.

    Notes: [Auszug] IN two recent papers R. S. Dietz1 and H. H. Hess2 have made similar proposals in which, guided by new discoveries made about palseomagnetism and the ocean floors, they have combined features of several older theories into one which appears to fit many observations. J. D. Bernal has welcomed these ...

    Notes: [Auszug] BENEATH the ice the Arctic Basin is vast, poorly known and difficult to study. Perhaps the only thing that can be said with certainty is that its geology and geophysics are complex. This lack of information has enabled some scientists to claim that there is no room in the Arctic for the global ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE question whether the continents have been JL fixed in approximately the same relative position since their creation, or whether they have moved has been debated for fifty years. Perhaps the reason that this has never been settled is that much more is known about the continents than about the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IN 1903, W. J. Sollas1 pointed out that many mountain and island arcs are truly circular and that in some cases the poles or centres of several arcs lie upon the same great circle. In 1931, Philip Lake2 clarified the idea, showing in particular that the poles of ...
