Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the impact of water vapor accumulating underneath the Earth's crust on various geological phenomena, from earthquakes to mountain formation. By analyzing historical theories and leveraging mathematical methods, the author presents a comprehensive re-examination of the physical grounds on which earlier reasoning was based. The book challenges traditional theories of Earth's contraction and cooling and offers a new perspective on the role of water vapor in shaping our planet. Exploring topics such as temperature distribution, density, pressure, and rigidity within the Earth, the author argues that the Earth's interior is not as active as previously believed, and that deep-seated movements do not occur frequently. The book concludes by examining how the Earth's surface features were likely formed by the detachment of the moon and subsequent modifications caused by earthquakes acting in the layer just beneath the crust. This book presents an alternative theory on the Earth's internal dynamics and challenges conventional assumptions about its structure and evolution, offering valuable insights for geologists and anyone interested in the Earth's history and composition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
