Synopsis
Excerpt from Rivers of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and Geology
When once the idea 15 grasped that each and every one of the elements in a landscape has a history which can be read, and that the end is not yet, but still other transformations are to come, an insatiable desire is awakened for more knowledge concerning especially the work of the streams to which so many of the changes that have been made on the earth's surface are due. What laws do the streams obey What conditions modify their normal behaviour? What are the various stages in the transformations they are making everywhere about us? Are there other forces in action, tending to counteract their destructive work Are the conditions to which man has become adjusted to pass away P What changes are to come? Is the re-modelling of the land to be continued for ever, or will there be a final condi tion beyond which the expression of the face of Nature will become sphinx-like and unchanging These and many more queries crowd themselves on the mind when once an interest in the daily scenes about us is awakened. Many.
