III.—Mountain Building

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The structure of mountain ranges has always been difficult to understand. They often show that peculiarly complicated disturbances of strata have occurred in the process of their formation. Mountain ranges in many stages of dissection are to be seen in various parts of the world; but the better knowledge which their study has furnished us with has not, at the moment, always assisted us in the better understanding of the problem of mountain building.
