Geonomy: A Theory Of The Ocean Currents And Their Agency In The Formation Of The Continents (1866)

Geonomy: A Theory Of The Ocean Currents And Their Agency In The Formation Of The Continents is a book written by J. Stanley Grimes in 1866. The book presents a theory that explains how ocean currents have played a significant role in the formation of the continents. The author argues that the movement of water in the oceans has caused the shifting of tectonic plates, leading to the creation of mountain ranges and the separation of continents. The book provides detailed explanations of the ocean currents and their effects on the Earth's surface, including the formation of volcanoes, earthquakes, and the creation of new land masses. It also explores the impact of these natural phenomena on the development of human civilization. Geonomy is a seminal work in the field of geology and oceanography, and it remains relevant today as scientists continue to study the complex interactions between the oceans and the continents.To Which Is Added Astrogenea: A New Theory Of The Formation Of Planetary Systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
