This would explain one, but only one, mountain building episode between any 北 pair of continents; it failed to account for earlier orogenic episodes.  Second, masses floating freely in a fluid substratum, like icebergs in the ocean, should be in isostatic equilibrium (in which the forces of gravity and buoyancy are in balance). But 球 gravitational measurements showed that many areas are not i
