Quaternary Raised Beaches and the Coral Reef Problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In a previous communication (1) it was shown that a temporary lowering of ocean-level, of the order of 1,000 metres, served not only to elucidate the nature of the British Quaternary strand line oscillations, but was also competent to explain the climatic changes that occurred during that period over a region that extended from North-West Europe to the pluviated lands south of the Mediterranean. It was also pointed out that a change in ocean-level of such magnitude must, being world-wide in extent, have recorded its effects in distant regions. There should, therefore, be a wide choice of areas where the hypothesis might be subjected to a critical and possibly decisive test.
