Earthquake Areas of the Earth Major de Montessus de Balore has compiled a catalogue of 130,000 shocks, and this indicates with scientific accuracy how the symptoms of seismic activity are manifested. The period of observation includes generally the last fifty years; but there is no reason to suppose that a longer time would materially affect the proportionate numbers. EARTHQUAKE AREAS OF THE EARTH MAJOR DE MONTESSUS DE BALAURE HAS COMPILED A CATALOGUE OF ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND SHOCKS AND THIS INDICATES WITH SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY HOW THE SYMPTOMS OF SESMIC ACTIVITY ARE MANIFESTED THE PERIOD OF OBSERVATION INCLUDES GENERALLY THE LAST FIFTY YEARS BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO SUPPOSE THAT A LONGER TIME WOULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE PROPORTIONATE NUMBERS
tedly supported millions of inhabitants unknown to civilization, these figures are of little consequence. The greatest measured depth of the Atlantic Ocean is a little over 27,000 feet; a depth of 30,000 feet has been found in the Pacific Ocean; 18,582 feet in the Indian Ocean; and 25,200 feet in the Southern Ocean. Soundings in the Arctic Ocean have failed to find a depth exceeding 9,000 feet. =Earthquakes.=--The earthquake is caused, undoubtedly, by the cooling of the earth. The interior of the earth is a molten mass of fire and is slowly cooling. As it cools, it contracts, and if the contraction is near the surface of the earth, the surface is rocked and crevices may open, doing considerable damage, although most earthquakes cause but slight shocks and injure no one. Earthquakes appear principally in or near the tropics, but are occasionally felt all over the temperature zones. Earthquakes appear to have belts, and there is little to be feared from them outside of these territories.
