Unorthodox in his approach, John W. De Lano presents an exciting and provocative account that leads us to a common sense understanding of how the Earth developed the mountain systems we see today. This book provides an alternative unified hypothesis about the Earth which explains its major features and puts traditional theories including "continental drift" and "seafloor spreading" to the test. It calls into question speculative theories of the mid-oceanic ridges and explains, through a comprehensive evaluation of GPS and sampling data, the natural flow that created both the mid-oceanic ridges and the fold mountain systems around the globe.
