Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea We know that during its long periods land masses again and again rose from the sea, were worn low, and were submerged and covered with the waste of other lands. The Elements of Geology The river system now has well under way its great task of wearing down the land mass which it drains and carrying it particle by particle to the sea. The Elements of Geology Thus for hundreds of thousands of years there appears to have been a constantly recurring outward push from the center of the world's greatest land mass. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America One of our ships found it, and I staked a discovery claim on the major land mass, and the crew made lesser claims that covered all the available land. The Lani People Which told me pretty clearly that nothing would ever force him to set foot on a land mass again. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea From the thickness and coarseness of these sediments draw inferences as to the land mass from which they were derived. The Elements of Geology It began with the larger part of North America emerged as great land masses. The Elements of Geology The reason is that this arrangement gives rise to a vast and almost continuous land mass in comparatively high latitudes. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America In youth the land mass was roughhewn and cut deep by stream erosion. The Elements of Geology The successive stages through which a land mass passes while it is being leveled to the sea constitute together a cycle of erosion. The Elements of Geology They indicate that most of the great families of higher animals originated in the central part of the great land mass of Europe and Asia. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America By the same means each formation records the stage in the cycle of erosion of the land mass from which its sediments were derived.
