East <strong>of</strong> Greenwich Showing Hypothetical<br />

Effect <strong>of</strong> Shift <strong>of</strong> <strong>Crust</strong><br />

fracturing and tilting <strong>of</strong> crustal blocks, suggested schematically. It should<br />

be understood that in reality the blocks would be comparatively small<br />

and the fractures would be numbered in millions. (3) <strong>The</strong> displacements<br />

<strong>of</strong> parts <strong>of</strong> the downward projections <strong>of</strong> the crust under continents and<br />

mountain chains, which would have an effect on the permanent eleva-<br />

tion <strong>of</strong> the surface relatively to sea level. (4) <strong>The</strong> volcanism attending<br />

the movement, with the projection into the atmosphere <strong>of</strong> volcanic dust<br />

capable <strong>of</strong> causing meteorological effects.
