New theory of how Earth formed, with bold explanations of tides, floods, and ancient coastlines.
This edition presents a clear look at how subterranean waters and shifting continents could shape shores, oceans, and the land we walk on today. Readers will follow a practical argument that links tidal patterns, alluvial formations, and massive floods to the world’s visible geography.
- Explore how underground channels and rising waters might drive dramatic oceanic changes and shoreline features.
- See discussions of counter tides, regular tides, and how celestial forces relate to coastal phenomena.
- Learn how rivers and currents could create varied layers of soil and rock over time.
- Understand how ancient coastlines, islands, and deltas might have formed and shifted in response to massive floods.
Ideal for readers curious about historical theories of Earth’s formation, coastal geology, and the forces that shape continents and seas.
