QUAkES ARE TRACED
TO VOLCANIC ACTION
Seismographer Ascribes Recent
Earth Shocks to Activity of
Mount Lassen in California,
BY the Associated Preaa.

By the Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 3O.-The
severe earthquakes in Montana and
California may be attributed to the
resumption of volcanic activity in
Mount Lassen, a peak in the Sierra
Nevada range in the northwestern
part OF California, Brother G.. E.
Rueppel, st. Louis University seis-
mographer, believes. The volcano
sidered extinct.
The volcanic activity of Mount
Lassen, undermining a large area of
the Rocky Mountains, has been the
immediate cause of the Iandslides
which are changing the topogra phy
OF that range and causing it to tilt
gradually, especially in the northern
district near Montana.
1t is known that earthquakes are
caused by a slipping or breaking of
the earth's crust as result of strains.
These strains may be the result
of shrinking of the earth's interior.
due to temperature changes, changes
In surface weight due to erosion TAX
ing material from one place to
another in the course of a few hun
dred years, or from a tendency of
the higher land to move toward sea-
level.
The tiltling of the Rocky Noun
tains has naturally produced an
enormous strain along the Pacific
coast, a region particularly weak
because of the fault or break in the
earth's crust, extending all along the
coast a few miles off shore.
Some readjustment must take
place to relieve this strain and un-
doubtedly the quake at Los Angeles
and Santa Barbara is the effect of
this readjustment."

Which of several faults known to

gists Of southern California
The mountain range paralleling
the coast and lying back Of Santa
Barbara is rising" said Ralph Arnold
chapter of the Seismological Society
Of America From just what cause
we do not know, but we know it is a
growing range. In the course of
great lapses of time, as the ranges
rise, the strata breaks and great
fractures or faults occur. Some ex-
tend many miles, 100 or more. Re-
adjustment of the earth's surface oc.
ours along these faults or along new
faults. The movements may be up
and down or sidewise along the fault.
The movements extend from few
inches to many feet, possibly 15 or
20 feet.
Several Faults Near City.
There is a great fault parallel to
the coast and between Santa Barbara
and the range; 1t is believed there is
another large fault in the deep basin
in the Santa Barbara channel be-
tween the mainland and Santa Cruz
Island, parallel to the coast. Be-
tween these two and between the
coast and back fault are two or three
smaller faults running In the same
general direction and toward or
through Santa Barbara. Investiga-
ton may disclose that the disturbance
occurred along any of them or even
a new fault might have been formed. "
