... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART FOUR: CRUSTAL TURBULENCE "Crustal turbulence" connotes rock movements, to be sure, but much of this book concerns the same, and we may only plead that there is especially more of these phenomena in this section concerning earthquakes, volcanism, rising or descending and swelling or shrinking earth masses. "The continent of Atlantis" is still mostly a name for geographical and legendary indications of crustal turbulence; it finally sank in one furious climactic day, so said Plato, after exhibiting the above-mentioned four forms of turbulence, plus continental cleavage, floods, pandemonium and extinction. We shall be ...

... His theory of the transformation of the orang-outang into the human species. THE last book, from chapters fourteen to thirty-three inclusive, was occupied with the consideration of the changes brought about on the earth's surface, within the period of human observation, by inorganic agents ; such, for example, as rivers, marine currents, volcanoes, and earthquakes. But there is another class of phenomena relating to the organic world, which have an equal claim on our attention, if we desire to obtain possession of all the preparatory knowledge respecting the existing course of nature, which may be available in the interpretation of geological monuments. It appeared from our preliminary sketch of the progress of the ...

... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Meteors And Weather IV - More Earthquakes Introduce New Atmospherics THE year 1926 was a bad year for meteoric phenomena, in the sense that there was a succession of upsets and very little settled weather.

FEW persons realise perhaps how absolutely dependent are all forms of life upon the incidence of weather. Give us too much air and we experience raging storms and hurricanes which destroy the crops and cause misery and destitution to millions. Give us too little air and animals and plants languish or die, drought is experienced with its attendant ills, and unless fresh air cleanses the foetid atmosphere there results suffocation and loss of life. Therefore the problem of the cause of our atmosphere, its eccentricities and peculiarities, the production of great storms or blazing heat waves ...
