Excerpt from Considérations sur la Structure Et la Genèse des Bancs de Terre-Neuve
Neuve. Telle est d'ailleurs la conclusion de Prestwich qui cherche à mettre d'accord les deux Opinions différentes et je m'yrallie complètement. Je ne crois pas à l'action sérieuse des icebergs sur les bancs de terre-neuve. En outre pour fran chir ces hauts - fonds, les glaces doivent avoir une profondeur moindre que 100 mètres et quelque avantage que donne la supposition d'un volume immergé beaucoup plus large qu'épais, il n'en reste pas moins vrai que les icebergs qui ont dépassé les bancs sont peu élevés et par conséquent très usés. Les arêtes vives des cailloux, les blocs de houille si fragiles et si bien conservés, ramenés par le prince de Monaco, prouvent que le fond n'est pas trituré par le pied des icebergs. M. John Milne', d'après ce qu'il a vu à Terre Neuve et sur les côtes de Finlande, est aussi d'avis qu'on a exagéré l'action des icebergs et qu'une part beaucoup plus importante doit étre faite à l'influence de la glace qui se forme directement contre les rivages.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geological origins of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, a vast and complex underwater landscape of banks and seamounts. The author, a renowned oceanographer, presents a groundbreaking theory that challenges the traditional view that icebergs are responsible for the formation of these enigmatic features. Instead, the author argues that the banks are the result of sediment deposits from a massive underwater river, which the author has named the Cabot River. Through meticulous analysis of oceanographic data, the author provides compelling evidence to support this theory, shedding new light on the geological processes that have shaped this unique and vital marine ecosystem. The book's insights will be of great interest to geologists, oceanographers, and anyone fascinated by the mysteries of the deep sea.
