Facts And Observations Towards Forming A New Theory Of The Earth (1818)

By William Angus Knight

Book Overview

""Facts and Observations Towards Forming a New Theory of the Earth"" is a scientific book written by William Knight and published in 1818. The book is an attempt to provide a new theory of the Earth's formation, based on the observation of geological phenomena and the study of the Earth's structure. The author argues that the Earth's surface is constantly changing, and that geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains are evidence of this process. Knight also discusses the role of water in shaping the Earth's surface, and proposes that the Earth's crust is made up of layers of different materials. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the author's ideas. Overall, ""Facts and Observations Towards Forming a New Theory of the Earth"" is an important work in the history of geology, and a fascinating exploration of the Earth's structure and history.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
