the Pan Pacific Scientific congress.
DIR. Omeri is considered the leading

The Pacific ocean, according to DR..
Omori. Is almost entirely surrounded
by an carthquake zone and a great
ring of volcanoes. The cause OF the
earthquakes. he said. lies i'm the insta-
bility of the carth's crust. Many
tembiors. Ire added. originate beneath
tho surface of the earth, many OF
them becoming SO feeble by the time
they reach the surface that only
