Geosynclines

Hobbs, on association of earthquakes and geosynclines, 143. ❋ John Joly (1895)

Here must become concentrated the folding movements, which are under existing conditions brought into the geosynclines, along with their attendant volcanic phenomena. ❋ John Joly (1895)

Superimposed upon these movements the rhythmic alternations of depression and elevation of the geosynclines probably resulted in releasing the crust from local accumulation of strains arising in the more rigid surface materials. ❋ John Joly (1895)

De Montessus and the association of earthquakes with geosynclines, 142. ❋ John Joly (1895)

From the accumulated sediments of the geosynclines the mountain ranges of the past have in every case originated; and the mountains of the future will assuredly arise and lofty ranges will stand where now the ocean waters close over the collecting sediments. ❋ John Joly (1895)

For a long time, therefore, these earthquake belts were the sea basins -- the geosynclines. ❋ John Joly (1895)

The association of earthquakes with the great geosynclines is well known. ❋ John Joly (1895)

Such vast subsiding areas are known as geosynclines. ❋ John Joly (1895)

On the other hand all this matter has for the greater part escaped the geosynclines and become uniformly diffused throughout the ocean or precipitated over its floor principally on the continental slopes before the great depths are reached. ❋ John Joly (1895)

The earlier sediments of argillaceous type were not collected in the geosynclines and the genesis of the mountains was delayed proportionately. ❋ John Joly (1895)

_the level in the crust at which the rocks are softened is nearer to the surface in the geosynclines than it is elsewhere in the normal crust_ (Pl. XV, p. 118). ❋ John Joly (1895)
