Physical and Historical Evidences of Vast Sinkings of Land On the North and West Coasts of France and South Western Coasts of England. Republ. From the Artizan; With Corrections. [With] On Steam As the Motive Power in Earthquakes and Volcanoes

<p>Physical and Historical Evidences of Vast Sinkings of Land explores geological phenomena along the north and west coasts of France and the southwestern coasts of England. Richard Atkinson Peacock presents compelling evidence of significant land subsidence drawing from both physical observations and historical records. This work originally published in The Artizan examines the impact of these sinkings on coastal regions and offers insights into the dynamic nature of the Earth's surface.</p><p>Included in this volume is a related piece On Steam As the Motive Power in Earthquakes and Volcanoes delving into theories about the underlying causes of seismic and volcanic activity. Peacock investigates the role of steam power in driving these natural disasters providing a historical perspective on early geological theories. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in historical geology coastal changes and the study of earthquakes and volcanoes.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
