Thus, there are at this moment beingproduced in different places multitudinous strata differing from oneanother in lithological characters. Name at random any part of thesea-bottom, and ask whether the deposit there taking place is like thedeposit taking place at some distant part of the sea-bottom, and thealmost-certainly correct answer will be--No. The chances are not infavour of similarity, but against it--many to one against it. In the order of superposition of strata there is being establi...shed alike variety. Each region of the Earth's surface has its special historyof elevations, subsidences, periods of rest: and this history in no casefits chronologically with the history of any other portion. Riverdeltas are now being thrown down on formations of different ages: somevery ancient, some quite modern. While here there has been deposited aseries of beds many hundreds of feet thick, there has elsewhere beendeposited but a single bed of fine mud. While one region of the Earth'scrust, continuing for a vast epoch above the surface of the ocean, bearsrecord of no changes save those resulting from denudation; anotherregion of the Earth's crust gives proof of sundry changes of level, withtheir several resulting masses of stratified detritus.
