Why the Earth
Sometimes Quakes
BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

What causes earthquakes? Pr.
NJ. c., Brooklyn"
The principal causes are: Cd The
movement Of underground rock
masses yielding to the strain TO
which the crust of the globe is sub
iected by the unbalanced forces. This
is the cause of the majority of great
earthquakes. CD Volcanic eruptIons
sometimes cause earthquakes by up
setting the equilibrium of the rock
strata in the neighbOrhood. CD
Local earthquakes, of no great in
tensity, may be caused by the fall
of subterranean cavern roofs. or the
sudden subsistence of an increasing
ly heavy deposit of soil washed from
the mountains by water. (4) EXplo-
sions of steam, formed from sea-
water that has penetrated into heat
ed rocks. may also cause earth
quakes Prof. T. ]. J. See regards
this as the chief cause of earth
quakes CD The unsteadiness of the
earth's axis of rotation, whose poles
wander about irregularly. a few
yards from the positions that they
would continually occupy if the axis
were rigidly fixed, has also been as
signed as a possible cause of earth
I quakes.
Statistics show that when the de
( parture of the poles from their mean
places is greatest, or when a rapid
/ change takes place in the direction
Of their movement, making a de-
cided "wobble," earthquakes are
more frequent than when the great
/ whirling globe sleeps" on a steadier
| axis. like a perfectly balanced top.
/ (6) The tidal strain of the attraction
| of the sun and the moon on the
earth is also considered by some to
have an effect in inducing earth
/ quakes.
