As to the causes of volcanic action thore

great difference of opinion among

scientists. One authority writes,

The most prolable view is that vol- cators are decly related to theme earth |

movements which have resulted in

the

lexing and facturing of strata. All the great wrinkles of the earth's surfaca owe theit origin to the sinking in of the crust non the euling and contracting nucleus, The crust yields to the enerous tangenital pressure by cracking across and wrinkling up, in vario linear directions, and it is along the files of fracture and Seanre that molten matter and heated vapors an 1 gases are enabled to inthe their escape to the
