Hundreds of thousands of years

shrinking of the crust of the crust
ot the earth.
Later came a glacial age. when
gigantic masses of ice poured

Shasta is in danger of losing its po
sitlon as one of the highest peaks
in the United States.
Should the glacial flow continue,
they claim, it will be only a ques

the 14.390 feet that make up Its al
titude win have been washed down
into the lower valleys.
Mount Shasta is unlike other gla
cier-harboring peaks in that it Is of
soft geological formation.
Other mountains pour down un
counted millions of tons of snow
and ice each year, but because of
the hardness of their rock, lose
only an Imperceptible amount of
their body.
Shasta, being soft in comparison
w'lth those other
peaks, has al

make Its changed topography notice

Scientists claim that it is only a
question of time before the mighty
summit will succumb to the steady
action of the elements and become
a secondary mountain peak.
