Earthquakes and their Causes, Inspector General Comments

Mr G Haghet, Inspector General of Schools in Wellington, explains two primary quake causes. He links some quakes to volcanic activity and argues most are secondary results from fault movements and crustal repacking. He notes about 15,000 quakes are recorded yearly and rejects formal connections among distant events. The piece covers Mount Pelee, Calabrian faults, and remarks on Italy’s quake.
