Domain-specific¶
- Tetrahedral Hypothesis
- Arthur Holmes argued in 1925 that the proposed form was descriptively inadequate and mechanically incompatible with isostasy unless a viable process concentrated low-density continental material along the supposed edges and corners; contraction supplied no such process.
This sourceRejects the formerly popular model as descriptively inadequate and inconsistent with isostasy without an unavailable lateral-differentiation mechanism.
