Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Recent Earthquakes The present volume differs from a text-book of seismology in giving brief, though detailed, accounts of individual earthquakes rather than a discussion of the phenomena and distribution of earthquakes in general. At the close of his Les Tremblements de Terre, Professor Fouque has devoted a few chapters to some of the principal earthquakes between 1854 and 1887; and there are also the well-known chapters in Lyell's Principles of Geology dealing with earthquakes of a still earlier date. With these exceptions, there is no other work covering the same ground; and he who wishes to study any particular earthquake can only do so by reading long reports or series of papers written perhaps in several different languages. The object of this volume is to save him this trouble, and to present to him the facts that seem most worthy of his attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: An Introduction to Seismic Geology If the best results are to be obtained, it is essential that the physicist and his brother, the geologist, should be brought into a closer association than has yet characterized the recent study of earthquakes. The establishment of earthquake stations at universities where seismology is taught as a part of geology may be expected to do much to this end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes Yet earthquakes are neither novel nor mysterious, but are among the most common and simplest of terrestrial phenomena; they have certainly recurred at frequent intervals throughout all geo logical time of which we have any record, and it is probable that now, not an hour, perhaps not a minute, passes, but more or less violent vibrations take place somewhere on the earth's surface. In later years, earthquakes have been carefully studied in many countries by geologists and physicists, and the conclusions reached have been so generally harmonious that there is now very little difference of opinion as to their cause, and the manner in which this cause operates.

Download or read book Earthquakes written by George Walter Hale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: Their Origin and Phenomena No one seems to know what earthquake phenomena is like, no one reads it. It is so strange and inscrutably wonderful that one does not know what it means, when he does read it: for it is absolutely mysterious and unaccountable. Modern science has long ago abandoned it as hopeless and many refuse to believe the things, that successive generations of men, have recorded over and over again, of this phenomena. The writer discovered its true source, years ago, but it has required years to unravel and place it before the reader, with any positive assurance and this largely because, ignorant of its origin, the accounts are so confusing and imperfect. The above caption, will doubtless be received by many with surprise and incredulity, yet it will be remembered that nearly every great physicist, who has touched upon the subject of late years has suggested that the earth is made up of the debris of comets and meteors. Mr. Russell, a late writer upon lakes, assigns as their origin, earthquakes and meteors. Here the writer has advanced one long step further and shows you that earthquakes are caused by meteors, and any reader who wishes to inform himself, may by means of what is given herewith, assure himself of such fact. It is not the purpose of the writer to demonstrate matters fully herein, as the reader may do that, but to inform those residing on earthquake belts of the true cause of the phenomena, to describe and explain it briefly, in order that more careful observations may be made of phenomena, as it has been presented in the past or may be noted in the future. Through ignorance of such origin, there is no account of any earthquake, that does not leave much further information to be desired and far more watchful, accurate and intelligent observations. Science at the present time, knows nothing of this origin and assumes from Mallet, that all phenomena, proceeds from the earth, but it accounts for and explains nothing and its assumptions are curiously confusing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements To a. Geologist there are perhaps no phenomena in nature more interesting than earthquakes, the study of which is called Seismology. Coming, as shocks often will, from a region of volcanoes, the study of these disturbances may enable us to understand something about the nature and working of a volcano. As an earthquake-wave travels along from strata to strata, if we study its reflections and changing velocity in transit, we may often be led to the discovery of certain rocky structures buried deep beneath our View, about which, without the help of such waves, it would be hopeless ever to attain any knowledge. By studying the propagation of earthquake-waves the physicist is enabled to confirm his speculations respecting the transmission of disturbances in elastic media. For the physicist earthquakes are gigantic experiments which tell him the elastic moduli Of rocks as they exist in nature, and when properly interpreted may lead him to the proper comprehension of many ill-understood pheno mena. It is not impossible that seismological investiga tion may teach us something about the earth's magnetism, and the connection between earthquakes and the earth currents which appear in our telegraph wires. These and numerous other kindred problems fall within the domain of the physicist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
