Seismology (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Seismology Although several chapters in the present volume bear the same title as those in a work upon Earthquakes and other Earth Movements written for the 'International Scientific Series' in 1883, it will be found that the subject matter of these largely consists of observations which are not only new, but more extensive and trustworthy than were formerly obtainable. The result of this is that the conclusions which are formulated are not only more definite than those hitherto arrived at, but are in many instances novel in character. The chapters dealing with changes in the vertical, diurnal waves, earth pulsations, the unfelt earthquakes so common in all countries, indicate that movements of the earth's crust can be equally well recorded and studied in England and other non-volcanic countries as in the most frequently earthquake-shaken districts in the world.
