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.

Nature of earthquake vibrations--Many instruments called seismometers only seismoscopes--Eastern seismoscopcs, columns, projection seismometers--Vessels tilled with liquid--Palmieri's mercury tules--The ship seismoscope--The cacciatore--Pendulum instruments oE ICreil, Wagner, Ewing, and Gray--Bracket seismographs--West's parallel motion instrument--Gray's conical pendulums, rolling spheres, and cylinders--Verbeck's ball and plate seismograph--The prin iple of Perry and Ayrton--Vertical motion instruments--Record receivers--Time-recording apparatus--The Gray anc Milne seismograxjh. Before we discuss the nature of earthquake motion, the determination of which has been the aim of modern seismological investigation, the reader will naturally look for an account of the various instruments which have been employed for recording such disturbances. A description of the earthquake machines which have been used even in Japan would form a bulky volume. All that we can do, therefore, is to describe briefly the more prominent features of a few of the more important of these instruments. In order that the relative merits of these may be better understood, we may state generally that modern research has shown a typical earthquake to consist of a series of small tremors succeeded by a shock, or series of shocks, separated by more or less irregular vibrations of the ground. The vibrations are often both irregular in period and in amplitude, and they have a duration of from a few seconds to several minutes. We will illustrate the records of actual earthquakes in a future chapter, but in the meantime the idea that an earthquake consists of a single shock must be dismissed from the imagination. To construct an instrument which at the...
