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.
