In the Beginning: Origin of Mountains
• The greatest ranges of mountains encircling the globe such as the Alps-Himalayan,
Appalachians, Urals, and the Rockies, have caused admiration and questions among
the early geologists or earth scientists. Backed by the geological knowledge that had
developed since the 18th century, they know that the mountains were formed by the
crumpling of the Earth's crust, but how ?
• Begun by the speculations of the origin of the mountains, the great tectonic theories
in geology were born. Now, we witness that the tectonic theories are so well
developed that they not only can explain the origin of the mountains, but also the
origin of other large-scale structural features on Earth: continents, ocean basins,
oceanic ridges, oceanic trenches, island arcs, high plateaus, and others. Geologists
now also use the tectonic theories to search for oil and gas and mineral deposits.

TECTONICS
• Tectonics/geotectonics: the branch of geology dealing with the broad architecture of the outer part
of the Earth, that is, the regional assembling of structural or deformation features, a study of their
mutual relations, origin, and historical evolution. (Bates and Jackson, 1987)
• Geologists use the term tectonics, in a general sense, to refer to the sum of physical processes that
yield regional-scale geologic features. Studies in tectonics consider such issues as the origin of
mountain belts, the growth of continents, the formation of the ocean floor, the development of
sedimentary basins, and the causes of earthquakes and volcanoes. (van der Pluijm & Marshak, 2004)
Tectonic Theories of the Earth
• Geosyncline
– (James Hall, 1859; James Dana, 1873; Suess, 1875; Haug, 1900; Stille, 1924; Haarmann, 1930)
• Undation
– (van Bemmelen 1927-1977)
• Continental Drift
– (Taylor, 1908; Wegener, 1915)
• Plate Tectonics
– (Hess, 1962; Vine & Matthews, 1963; Wilson, 1965; Bird et al., 1967; Sykes et al., 1968; Morgan, 1968;
Gilluly, 1971; etc.)
• Terrane Tectonics
– (Howell et al., 1982; Metcalfe; 1987; etc.)

Undation Theory
• Periodic convection circuits of masses in the mantle will cause differential vertical
movements at the surface called as undations (van Bemmelen, 1927-1977).
• Vertical movements of undations produce potential gravitative energy with fields of
internal stresses. This leads eventually to lateral movements of masses, called gravity
tectonics.
• The undation theory gives a synthesis of the terrestrial evolution, uniting geological,
geophysical, and geochemical data into a comprehensive model.
• The latest development of the undation theory is the insight that there is a causative
relation between the major gravity anomalies of the globe and the global
geodynamic processes. This leads to a more rheological interpretation of
geodynamic processes.
The vertical movements of undations
produce potential garvitative energy
with fields of internal stresses. This
energy leads eventually to lateral
movements of masses, called gravity
tectonics.

• Plate tectonics theory offers a unified explanation for most features of the Earth. The
Earth's surface is segmented into intact, semi-rigid slabs or plates of lithosphere,
move about with respect to one another by riding upon a less rigid undermass called
the asthenosphere. Junctures between plates coincide with the world's active seismic
belts.
• The three types of junctures are: divergent-in which plates move away from one
another, convergent-in which plates move toward one another, and simple shear
(transform)-in which plates slide past one another.
• Major Earth features can be explained by plate tectonics. For example, mountain
ranges take place at convergent boundaries of plates.
