随着人们对地质构造现象认识的扩大与深入,进而去探求这些现象形成的物理力学原因(地壳运动的本质所在),就具有重大的理论与突践意义。在近代地质学中,各个学派为了企图揭露地壳运动的本质,曾从不同的角度对地质构造现象进行了研究,提出了看法,并展开了激烈的争论。例如大地构造学中地壳的垂直运动与水平运动问题,在十九世纪末叶,“主火论者”认为地壳运动主要是岩浆活动所引起的,从而建立了地壳垂直运动说。二十世纪,A.威格纳等从他们对地质 As people expand and deepen their understanding of the phenomenon of geological formations and explore the physical and mechanical causes (the essence of the crustal movement) formed by these phenomena, they have great significance in theory and practice. In modern geology, in order to expose the nature of crustal movement, all schools have studied the phenomenon of geological structure from different angles, put forward their opinions and heatedly debated. For example, in the tectono-tectonics, the vertical and horizontal crustal movement problems. In the late nineteenth century, the “main fire mongers” thought that the crustal movement was mainly caused by magmatic activity and thus established the crustal vertical motion. Twentieth century, A. Wigner and others from their geology
