The planet trembles almost continuously, as some 8,000 earthquakes a year bear witness. Islands sink out of sight in the sea, and new ones emerge. Rain and wind level old mountains; young ones are thrust up on the shoulders of mysterious forces below. Whence comes all this energy...
...could not explain the underlying mechanism. After radioactivity was discovered, Joly of England and others hit on the concept of thermal pulsation: radioactivity in the solid, or nearly solid, sub-crust of Earth causes heat to be stored there until the sub-crust melts. The continental masses sink deeper into this dense, viscous pool, which in turn moves sideways, bulging and rifting ocean floors, allowing heat to escape. Then the cycle begins again. Wegener of Germany proposed that two great continents, Gondwanaland in the Southern Hemisphere and Eurasia in the Northern, cracked and sundered, slid like cakes of ice over...

An able compromiser, President Roosevelt finally approved the AAA plan announced last week. To guarantee...
