摘要:

ABSTRACTThe present paper is an examination of the relationship between man and the great marine depths, starting from the earliest known myths up to our present‐day conception based on scientific evidence. The concept of the abyss and thehorrorit inspires are investigated from a philosophical and poetic point of view to emphasize the vital importance of such concept in human lif

摘要:

ABSTRACTFrom early Greek cosmology and pre‐socratic thought to Kant, Nietzsche and the philosophy of existence, ‘ocean’ is a figure of the most relevant significance, in accordance with two different patterns: as mythical representation of the principle of the universe and as metaphor of the adventure of human knowledge. Now the question could be: do the philosophical images of the ocean have some value for modern sc

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis testimony is the result – better, the tale – of some sea and ocean descents made by a novelist to gather information for writing two of his books. The first one isThe meadow under the seapublished by Mondadori, 1974, and thereafter in various other editions, in Italian and other languages. The second isThe Blue Whale, Mondadori, 1988, which went through several Italian editions.The present piece concerns impressions and events of contacts with the marine and oceanic floor in the Mediterranean sea, along Atlantic beaches and the Indian Ocean, off Tromelin, Madagascar.The last voyage takes the novelist to a peculiar situation, where water's darkness overturns the image, comes through the bathysphere port‐hole and the observer looks inside himself, a view that corresponds to a mythical history of the ocean

摘要:

ABSTRACTTwo great revolutions have shaken the field of the geological sciences since World War II, one involving the solid Earth and the other involving the ice ages. The former came after a long and gradual preparation that extended across a century. The latter came abruptly, after a long period of stasis during which little conceptually new had emerged. The former did not demolish anything ‐ it was only the logical conclusion of a long process of discovery. The latter demolished a canon that had become a dogma held true for half a century. The reactions of the scientists to the two revolutions are a study in contrast: instant acceptance of the former versus laggard and reluctant acceptance of the latte

摘要:

ABSTRACTDuring the period from the mid 1950s to the 1960s it seemed as if the community of earth scientists was slowly being dragged toward accepting continental drift. But resistance was often steadfast. Each new ideal or set of data produced a trickle of new converts, but also generated heated debate. The concept of sea‐floor spreading and the corollary hypothesis that the process of spreading would generate a set of symmetrical magnetic anomalies was particularly disputatious. The discovery of the Eltanin 19 magnetic anomaly profile ended the dispute and the trickle became a floo

摘要:

ABSTRACTAfter a short period of propagation of Wegener's continental drift ideas in Russia in the twenties and first half of the thirties of this century, there came a much longer period (1935–1960) of fixist reaction', when vertical tectonic movements were regarded as primary and most important and horizontal ones as secondary and subsidiary. In the sixties, interest in the manifestation of horizontal movements on strike‐slip faults, overthrusts and nappe formation began to grow, and at the verge of sixties and seventies ideas of plate tectonics began to penetrate into Russia. But at the begining they met strong resistance mainly from the older generation of scientists. In spite of this, these ideas finally gained the support of the majority of Earth scientists in this country. Russian geologists and geophysicists made a significant contribution to the development of the plate tectonics theory as well as in its regional, global and theoretical aspe
