Earth's tremors and the sea floor spark global quake lore
The article surveys volcanic and seismic activity from Hawaii to Tokio to Lisbon. It links Mauna Loa eruptions with earthquakes, explains submarine quakes and tidal waves, cites 1906 San Francisco, 1923 Tokyo Yokohama, and 1811-12 Mississippi Valley quakes, and argues building in quake belts, with Japan and Italy highlighted as highly prone regions.
