Abstract

The use of precise measurements is becoming more general in efforts to interpret the phenomena connected with changes in the Earth's surface. It may be that the use of these precise measurements will eventually lead to a more exact knowledge as to how the Earth s surface originally became so irregular with great areas standing high, as continents, and other areas depressed, as ocean basins.The science of seismology is adding much to our exact data. The locations of the epicenters of earthquakes and the determination of their intensity and the rate of transmission of the earthquake‐shocks through the Earth's materials at different depths furnish information of the highest value.
