HOW EARTHQUAKES o GLACIERS.

~ations in Alaska show that after
a big earthquake there all the glaciers
start up and push forward at the foot.
so that they extend further out toward
or into the sea. This is easily explained,
IL we suppose that the quake shakes
down loose snow from the steep slopes
above the glaciers source. so that the
neve. or snowhcld where the glacier rises.
is greatly swelled. The increase in bulk
moves slowly down through the mass Of
the glacier, like a lump in a flow of some
such viscous fluid as molasses. until It
reaches the foot, which it pushes for
ward temporarily. The following account
of the phenomenon is from Cosmos (trans-
lated in part in the Literary Digest:
