Its base was still imbedded in the original conglomerate and ...

... unit, although parts of it may have been secondarily fractured and faulted or overturned in folds. Such folds are termed inversions. Within an inversion, material of a younger geologic age is found below older material. The plane over which the slab of crust is displaced is called a shearplane with respect to soil and rock mechanics, and is ... . Imbrication is frequently observed in association with instantaneous displacement, and plastic deformation is frequently associated with creep. The overthrust phenomenon becomes more enigmatic with this observation. Traditionally, geologists tried to interpret the phenomenon of overthrust faulting in terms of gravity sliding. However, in many cases the angle of the shearplane is too low (nearly parallel to ...

93. New Scenarios for Solar System Evolution [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... universe evolution is for completeness discussed in both the version presently accepted by the majority of scientists (the big bang scenario) and in possible alternative versions. The session on geology discusses a number of questions associated with the crucial and difficult problem of accurately dating events in the far past but more importantly for the consequences on the dating of the ... Sapiens past, is discussed. Two particular topics that have always fascinated man, namely the deluge traditions and the antiquity of the great Giza Sphynx, are discussed from the geologist point of view. The session on anthropology reviews work done by genetists and linguists, that shows a tree of evolution of human presence in the world from a very ...

In particular current interpretations of the geological and climatological record seem to provide little support for the idea of major catastrophes in the 15th and 8th centuries BC on the scale envisaged by Velikovsky. A detailed response ...

Gould is on the faculty of Harvard University, and is primarily a palaeontologist and evolutionary biologist, although he also teaches geology and the history of science. For relaxation he sings baritone with the Boston Cecilia Society, and has a liking for Gilbert and Sullivan as well as for Bach. ... though modern textbooks may give the impression that one side had won the argument conclusively. A typical example is the catastrophism - uniformitarianism debate. In Gould's opinion, "Most geologists would tell you that their science represents the total triumph of Lyell's uniformity over unscientific catastrophism. Lyell's brief won the victory for his name, but modern geology is really ...

... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Sliding Continents The geological changes in the distribution of land and water being inadequate to explain the shifting of the poles, the problem is thrown back once more into the domain of astronomy. But before we ask, "What forces in the ... system could have displaced the terrestrial axis?" we shall discuss a theory that has for over three decades occupied the minds of geologists, climatologists, and evolutionists-the theory of the shifting continents. Instead of the poles shifting, according to Wegener's theory the continents drift and pass one after the other through the southern and northern polar regions. In ...

... After Buffon's death, Cuvier quickly established a reputation as a gifted scientist, particularly in comparative anatomy. In 1812, he published the results of a detailed investigation of the geology of the Paris basin, carried out over many years with the mining engineer and mineralogist, Alexandre Brongniart (Figure 1). It seemed clear to Cuvier that there ... action. That view eventually prevailed but initially Neptunism was the more popular theory. The most influential advocate of Neptunist views was Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817), a German geologist. In Werner's theory, precipitation of dissolved material took place over long periods of time, first forming primitive rocks such as granite and then, as erosion of these ...
