Extract

The following paper is an attempt to contribute to the solution of the problem of mountain building. It is here suggested that the folding of mountain ranges may be produced by the frictional drag of moving portions of the asthenosphere, and that these movements may be convective and result from its unequal heating by radio-active elements.
