Archibald Geikie

    Il geologo scozzese Archibald Geikie fu un convinto sostenitore della teoria dell'erosione della superficie terrestre dovuta all'azione fluviale, agli agenti atmosferici e al ghiaccio durante ripetute ere glaciali, superando la teoria prevalente della scultura sottomarina prima dell'innalzamento. Si dedicò anche allo studio dell'attività vulcanica passata, tentando per primo una classificazione cronologica delle eruzioni scozzesi e riconoscendo importanti discordanze nelle antiche rocce arenarie. La sua vasta produzione letteraria comprende testi fondamentali di geologia, biografie di geologi e studi sul paesaggio e la storia geologica, affermandolo come figura centrale nelle scienze della Terra.
