Abstract
Flow in the Earth's mantle is inferred from continental drift. Its distribution may be obtained from the pattern of zones of compression and tension in the Earth's crust and from the low harmonics of the geopotential. The origin of the flow is held to be convection. The depth to which the flow extends will be discussed. The relation of the flow to the earthquake mechanism will be considered.
