Synopsis

This book explores mountain ranges and the geological evidence linking their formation to the expansion of the Earth's crust due to temperature changes deep within the planet. Drawing on extensive research and evidence from around the globe, the author demonstrates how heat causes crustal material to expand, leading to compression and folding, which ultimately creates mountain ranges. The author places this within the context of the ongoing study of the Earth's crust and its dynamic nature, revealing the complex and fascinating processes that have shaped our planet's surface.
