Who is Leopold Kober?
Leopold Kober, an influential Austrian geologist, proposed a number of theories of orogeny and coined the term kraton to describe stable continental platforms. Kober, developing geosyncline theory, posited that stable blocks known as forelands move toward each other, forcing the sediments of the intervening geosynclinal region to move over the forelands, forming marginal mountain ranges known as Randketten, while leaving an intervening median mass known as the Zwischengebirge.
