Description
Excerpt from The Face of the Earth (Das Antlitz Der Erde), Vol. 3
Analysis of the subject. Attempt to determine a plan of the trend - lines. General folding of the oldest rocks.
WE began our study of the face of the earth by imagining an observer to approach our planet from outer space and, pushing aside the clouds of the atmosphere, to contemplate the surface of the globe rotating beneath him. We then supposed that this observer, as he had previously pushed aside the clouds, was now able to remove the sea, so that he could gaze directly on the bare rocky crust and on the great abysses of the Ocean.
