Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a new theory of the Earth's formation by studying rocks, mountains, fossils, and other phenomena. The author, who has published extensively in the field of natural science, proposes that water, fire, and air are the agents that carried out God's will to shape the planet, and that heat from within the Earth caused matter to expand and led to the formation of primitive rocks. The author uses this theory to account for many effects and catastrophes that appear in the solid parts of the Earth. The theory is illustrated by facts and observations from geologists and natural scientists, and the author provides unique explanations for the formation of secondary rocks, the causes of earthquakes and volcanoes, and the presence of marine fossils high on mountains. The author also traces the effects of a universal deluge and subsequent inundations on the Earth's surface. By providing simple explanations for complex phenomena, this theory will enhance the reader's understanding of the Earth's history and the processes that shaped it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330492109_0
