Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Metamorphism, Vol. 2 Thus, a large proportion of the water of precipitation takes a downward journey for a certain distance into the belt Of weathering, and then returns to the surface. The chief impelling forces for the first part of the journey are gravity and molecular attraction, and the impelling forces in the return journey are roots and molecular attraction working against gravity. Where vegetation is sparse or wanting, the upward movement by which water is brought to the surface is chiefly or wholly molecular attraction.
