Of origin OF woIldShaking shocks lies on the

ures or breaks on he earth'S surface. Many
Of them occur in the abysses of the sea and
it is usually found that when these terrible
shocks originate on land large arcns are
raised or lowered as the result of the shock
Thus. in Japan in 1891, breaking down Of
the rocks occurred among the mount aims

The colossal cause of one OF the greatest
