Some Characteristic Structural Types in Eastern Asia and their Bearing upon the Problem of Continental Movements

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Abstract

We have perhaps gone a little further into the detail of these five zones than is justified by the nature of this paper. But as we shall see later, unless the supreme importance of these east and west zones be fully appreciated, we should be at a loss to explain the peculiar arrangement of the several mountain ranges that swell forward towards the continental margin, as well as the succession of island arcs that border the continental mass of Eastern Asia.
