"Ninety-nine and nine-tenths of the earthâ€™s volume must forever remain invisible and untouchable. Because more than 97 per cent of it is too hot to crystallize, its body is extremely weak. The crust, being so thin, must bend, if, over wide areas, it becomes loaded with glacial ice, ocean water or deposits of sand and mud. It must bend in the opposite sense if widely extended loads of such material be removed. This accounts for â€¦ the origin of chains of high mountains â€¦ and the rise of lava to the earthâ€™s surface."
