Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: Their Origin and Phenomena 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 here with 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 pheno mena, 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Recent Earthquakes I propose in this book to describe a few of the more important earthquakes that have occurred during the last half century. In judging of import ance, the standard which I have adopted is not that of intensity only, but rather of the scientific value of the results that have been achieved by the study of the shocks. Even with this reservation, the number of earthquakes that might be included is considerable; and I have therefore selected those which seem to illustrate best the different methods of investigation employed by seismologists, or which are of special interest owing to the unusual character of their phenomena or to the light cast by them on the nature and origin of earthquakes in general.

Download or read book Earthquakes written by William Herbert Hobbs and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: An Introduction to Seismic Geology Probably no branch of science has made such astounding advances during the past decade as has seismology, if exception be made of the studies of radiant energy. Attention is drawn to this growth in the name "New Seismology," which refers to the fact that earthquakes may now be studied from a distant station as well as upon the ground. This term tells, however, but a part of the story; for the methods of study used in the field are being almost as thoroughly transformed as have the distinctly instrumental and physical studies made at fixed observing stations. We have, thus, to-day two wholly different types of earthquake investigators. On the one hand, there is the body of watchmen posted at observatories, who, with the aid of delicate and largely automatic instruments, are able to announce the arrival of earth shocks and study the registration of wave motions which have originated in jars anywhere upon or near the surface of the globe. In cooperation they are now able to fix the location of the disturbed districts, and thus for the first time it is possible to issue an annual earthquake catalogue for the planet regarded as a whole. These earthquake watchmen have been trained as physicists, and are in many, probably in most, cases without special knowledge of geology.

In many respects, allowing for the greater velocity of life in the twentieth century, our cases were not dissimilar. For ten months, under a doctor's orders, we had wandered in the Orient, and returned home to find ourselves in what was presently to prove a new world.
