The Convection Current Hypothesis of Mountain Building

  • A. J. Bull
Extract

IN a previous paper in the Geological Magazine (1) the hypothesis was suggested that mountains might result from the dragging together of sediments and other rocks by a convection current inthe material below the crust. It may be useful to review the present position as to how far this idea has offered an adequate explanation of mountain and other earth structures.
