Book Title: Geology 101 for Lehman College (CUNY)

Subtitle: " “The ruins of an older world are visible in the present structure of our planet, and the strata which now compose our continents have been once beneath the sea, and were formed out of the waste of pre-existing continents. The same forces are still destroying, by chemical decomposition or mechanical violence, even the hardest rocks, and transporting the materials to the sea, where they are spread out, and form strata analogous to to those of more ancient date.” James Hutton. (“Principles of Geology”, v.1, p. 61, The University of Chicago Press).
