Excerpt from Scientific Survey of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Vol. 1: Part 4; The Physiography of Porto Rico
After the dissection of the coastal plains the entire coast suffered a slight submergence, the result possibly of the melting of the continental ice sheets at the end of glacial time. The recent changes which have taken place since this submergence involve the deposition of alluvium along stream courses and its dissection to form terraces, the building of extensive alluvial fans on the south coast, the silting up of bays, and the work of the waves and wind, which has been most pronounced on the north side of the island. Finally there is some evidence of a slight emergence at a veryr recent date.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. A thoroughly researched survey of the geography and geology of Porto Rico, this book presents a comprehensive understanding of the island's formation and topography, with a particular focus on the Tertiary coastal plain and its impact on the overall landscape. The author traces the island's physiographic history through several stages, beginning with the oldland, then moving through peneplanation, submergence, and recent changes. Special attention is paid to the formation of the coastal plain during a period of partial submergence and the subsequent uplift that led to the erosion of the island. The book delves into the effects of erosion on the island's terrain, classifying it into several distinct belts, including cuestas and inner lowlands. Detailed descriptions and analysis of each of these belts provide valuable insights into the island's geological evolution. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the island's complex geological history and the resulting landscapes, making it a valuable resource for geologists, geographers, and anyone interested in the natural history of Porto Rico.
