THE HYPOTHESIS: The crust of the earth is subject to forces that compress or stretch it. These forces may cause the surface of the earth to be locally uplifted or depressed relative to adjacent areas. Local uplifts may result in hills or mountains. Local depressions may result in lowlands or valleys.
