Objectives of the Sliding Continent Theory: Daly postulated his theory of sliding continents in his book 'Our Mobile Earth' in the year 1926 to explain the origin and evolution of different relief features of the [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Objectives of Thermal Contraction Theory 2. Mechanism of the Thermal Contraction Theory 3. Evaluation. Objectives of Thermal Contraction Theory: Jeffreys, a strong exponent of contraction theory, postulated his 'thermal contraction theory' to explain the origin and evolution of major reliefs of the earth's surface (continents, ocean basins, mountains, island arcs and festoons) [...]
