Great land slides would occur, great gashes and chana would appear all over the surface of the earth, the earth open- ing up and swallowing all things that- walked upon the danger spots. The sun's heat would increase and dimin- Ish to great extremes. Tremendous tidal waves would roll over the oceans submerging islands and continents. The rearing of the sea and the noise of the earthquakes would be frighten- from ing. Rocks would be hurled mountain sides, volcanoes burst forth into activity.
