The Structure of the Pacific Basin as Indicated by Earthquakes

Gutenberg, B.

Abstract

Our earth originated about 2,000 million years ago. Great changes must have occurred in its early history, but even yet both gradual and sudden changes show us that it has not gained complete equilibrium. The sudden movements, which we call earthquakes, give us important information about the constitution of the earth.
