Abstract

WEGENER'S hypothesis is based on the idea VV that the continental masses are patches of lighter rock floating and moving in a layer of denser rock, and this denser rock forms the floor of the oceans. Following, with a slight alteration, the terminology of Suess he calls the lighter material the Sial and the denser layer the Sima. Suess uses the words Sal and Sima, and thinks that the Sal covers the globe completely.
