BARTHQUAKES,
HOW THEY ARE CAUSED.
GIRDLE OF FIRE HOUND THE PACIFIC
.
Questioned the other day, at the University,. with reference to the earthquake shocks in Rotorua, N.Z., Professor David explained that there is a zone of country very sensitive to earthquakes and volcanic eruption passing along the East Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, way of Port Chamlers and Lyttelton, across Cook's Strait, through the Hot Lake region of the North Island, and thence northward to the Kermadec Islands, Tongs, and Samos.
Thence the volcanic and seismic zone ex- tends westward to the New Hebrides, Solemon Islands, North Coast of New Guinea, and the Philippines. At the Philippines, there is an off-shoot of the main zone, which bends west to the Straits of Sunda and runs on through Java, Sumaira, connecting eventually with the Malay Peninsula, Burmah, and the east end of the Himalayas.
The main sone, however, continues from the Philippines through Formais, Japan, and Kurile Islands to Kamtchatka; thence it is continued through the Aloutnin Islanda into
Maska and California, and by way of Mexico to Nicaragua, to the Peruvian and Chilian Anders thence to Trinity Land, and | across the South Pole to Victoria Land and the Arctic volcano known as Balleny Island." The zone connects through from there to the South Island of New Zealand. ***
"It will be seen," continued the Professor, "that the whole of the Pacific Ocean in e- circled by what has been termed a girdle of fire, with the exception of the part of it that no washes the eastern coast of Australia. Thera is, however, geological evidence to show that formerly this area also of the east Australian coast was included in the Pacific seismic and volcanic belt
"It not unfrequently happens that when an cant quake shock is experienced in one part of the world, the area that is nearly antipodean to it is simultaneously shaken. The antipo dèan area to the Himalayas lies under the Pa cific Ocean between New Zealand and Peru, [460 but a good deal gearer to Peru than to New
Zealand,

"It would be interesting to note whether any, sympathetic movements of the earth's clust, such as are evidenced by volcanic erup tions or earthquake shocks are experienced along the west coast of South Australia, & Of | course, when any readjustment of the earth,

"The reason for the shore lines of the P cific being for the most párt panicularly liabl to earthquake shocks and volcanic eruption is that the earth's crust is somewhat sharplys beat downwards along those lines as the Pacific Ocean bounded by steep sides. existence of these steep sides shows tha the earth in times past in process contraction has yielded to the effects'

“It has been suggested that the warping in this case may be due to the local weighting of loading of the earth's crust with sediment: brought down by the Murray River, and spread. along the Coorongan Coast. The earth's crust, being very sensitive to loading of this kind, sinks under the weight, and so becomes bent and weakened, thus being rendered a likely spot on which the contracting action of the earth's clust my expend itself, and so produce further folding or cracking.
