m density than the land masses. I found
the slight difference is too small to account for
the fuel effects I spreading cited. Physicists learn
have that Drillis that even this slight difference
if given time enough could effect produce the
results seen. Drillis holds that the suboceanic
mass in which spreading takes place maybe a
one 100 miles deep. Beneath this there will be such
high pressure that there centre no unequal movement.
This his idea that these suboceanic masses are
spreading laterally and ontheward as pushing of
the continental margins. Thus :-
