Excerpt from On the Form and Position of the Sea Level: With Special Reference to Its Dependence on Superficial Masses Symmetrically Disposed About a Normal to the Earth's Surface
In the absence of a complete rational theory the best evidence which analysis can bring to bear on questions pertaining to the geoid is largely of a negative character. The effects which would result under certain conditions can be computed, but it is not always possible to prove that those conditions accord with the actual facts. Investigation must proceed to some extent upon doubtful postulates, and computations must be made from uncertain data. But notwithstanding this limita tion -ou the calculations we are about to consider, they will generally possess a value in excluding or confirming hypotheses, or in furnishing limiting values for the effects of observed causes.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between the form of the Earth's surface and masses symmetrically distributed around a normal to the surface. The author, a distinguished geologist, uses mathematical equations to demonstrate that the Earth's surface is an oblate spheroid which is subject to distortions caused by the redistribution of surface mass, such as the accumulation of ice during a glacial period. The author also considers the broader implications of his work for understanding the Earth's evolution and the forces that have shaped its surface over time.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334038686_0
