Abstract
Review of Some Hypotheses on Mountain Building
ABSTRACT
This paper reviews recent concepts of mountain building. Bucher's ideas and experiments, representing the contraction viewpoint, with emphasis on horizontal stress, are considered. Beloussov's contention that vertical stress is the prime factor in mountain building is also mentioned together with the views of others who challenge the overall decollement idea as exemplified in Buxtorf's Jura interpretation. Carey's revolutionary concepts, which include an expanding earth, continental drift, and the interlocking on a global scale of all major tectonics, are given consideration and related to earlier concepts by others.
