Fig. XIV. Various Aspects <strong>of</strong> the Wedge Effect<br />

<strong>The</strong> Antarctic continent is shown, with center <strong>of</strong> gravity displaced to<br />

the right, on a line representing the $6th degree <strong>of</strong> East Longitude. <strong>The</strong><br />

figure at the right represents the continuation <strong>of</strong> the movement <strong>of</strong> the<br />

icecap along this meridian, mounting the bulge, which must be visualized<br />

three-dimensionally. <strong>The</strong> lower left-hand figure shows the vertical cross<br />

section <strong>of</strong> the earth under the icecap, with the two wedges pushing the<br />

crust out as it approaches the equator. <strong>The</strong> proportions <strong>of</strong> the wedges<br />
