Continental drip : ウィキペディア英語版 | Continental drip Continental drip is the observation that southward-pointing landforms are more numerous and prominent than northward-pointing landforms. For example, Africa, South America, India etc. all taper off to a point towards the south. The observation was made by Ormonde de Kay in a 1973 paper, reprinted in the semi-humorous book ''More Random Walks in Science'' in 1982.〔Weber, R. L. (ed.), ''More Random Walks in Science'', Taylor and Francis, 1982.〕 The name is a modification of ''continental drift''. The planet simulator (software toy) ''SimEarth'' by Maxis includes continental drip in its Terran (Earth) simulations. ==References==
