    Continental drift and a theory of convection (1990)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Terra nova 2 (1990), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-3121
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    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] 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 ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE surface features of the Earth are strikingly different from those of the Moon. This requires explanation, because these bodies are generally considered to have been companions in space, subjected to the same external influences for several thousand million years. The Moon's surface is cratered, ...

    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] 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] 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] FOR more than a century it has been recognized that an unusual feature of the shallow water marine faunas of Lower Palaeozoic time is their division into two clearly marked geographic regions, which are commonly referred to as faunal realms. "The faunal assemblages are amazingly uniform throughout ...
