Geodynamics is commonly thought to be one of the subjects which
provide the basis for understanding the origin of the visible
surface features of the Earth: the latter are usually assumed as
having been built up by geodynamic forces originating inside the
Earth ("endogenetic" processes) and then as having been degrad ed
by geomorphological agents originating in the atmosphere and ocean
("exogenetic" agents). The modem view holds that the sequence of
events is not as neat as it was once thought to be, and that, in
effect, both geodynamic and geomorphological processes act
simultaneously ("Principle of Antagonism"); however, the division
of theoretical geology into the principles of geodynamics and those
of theoretical geomorphology seems to be useful for didactic
purposes. It has therefore been maintained in the present writer's
works. This present treatise on geodynamics is the first part of
the author's treatment of theoretical geology, the treatise on
Theoretical Geomorphology (also published by the Springer Verlag)
representing the second. The present edition is third one of the
book. Although the headings of the chapters and sections are much
the same as in the previous editions, it will be found that most of
the material is, in fact, new."
