Archibald Geikie

    Škótsky geológ Archibald Geikie sa stal popredným obhajcom teórie erózie povrchu pôdy pôsobením riečnej vody, zvetrávacích činiteľov a ľadu počas opakovaných dôb ľadových. Nahradilo to prevládajúcu teóriu o podvodnom tvarovaní pevnín pred ich vyzdvihnutím. Zaoberal sa aj štúdiom minulého sopečného pôsobenia a prvýkrát sa pokúsil chronologicky zaradiť škótske erupcie. Jeho práce zahŕňali knihy, učebnice a eseje o geológii, biografie geológov a významné diela o škótskych horninách, ktoré viedli k prvému rozpoznaniu rozsiahleho nesúladu medzi hornou a dolnou skupinou pieskovcových vrstiev.
