Abstract
Chapter I gave a brief outline of those rocks which can probably be said to build up the earth’s crust. This important question will now have to be examined somewhat more closely. It should first be noted, however, that opinions differ considerably as regards the composition of the terrestrial crust though all agree on a few fundamental points.
