Abstract
The preceding chapters showed time and again, that the different groups of phenomena are genetically related to one another, and that they have a common, deeper cause in a figurative as well as a literal sense, to which we referred repeatedly by means of such neutral designations as “processes in the substratum”, “changing conditions in the interior of the earth”, “deep-seated forces”, “pulsating rhythm of subcrustal processes”, etc.
“And the secret of it all is in the heart of the earth, forever invisible to human eyes”. (R.A. Daly)
