Excerpt from A Text-Book of Geography Slow Movements - Elevation and Subsidence. - As the earth is slowly radiating its heat (secular cooling) into space, the interior contracts, and the solid but elastic crust wrinkles, and movements of different kinds are set up. The most conspicuous movements are those which occur in the course of mountain building, where folds and fractures are produced through stresses acting on the earth's crust. To these must be added the less marked movements which result from a subsidence of the crust or a rise of the sea in consequence of the sediment deposited in it (positive movements), or from a lowering of the sea-level in consequence of a subsidence of the ocean floor (negative movements). These movements are gener ally called elevation and subsidence, and may be considered with reference to the land without regarding the question of changes in the sea-level.
