- W4231566283 abstract "THE most remarkable development in modern seismology is not the seismic survey of a city, or even of a country, but of the whole world. This branch of inquiry is now in active progress. Since the time of the great earthquake of Lisbon in 1755 it has been known that disturbances of the magnitude of that event, although not directly recognisable as earthquakes in regions distant from the origin, have nevertheless given evidence of commotion by causing the water in lakes and ponds to oscillate. By observing and timing the movements of the bubbles of sensitive levels, astronomers have recorded unfelt pulsatory movements of the ground which they showed to be the result of seismic disturbances in far distant countries. In Japan these unfelt movements have been automatically recorded since 1884 (Seis. Soc. Trans., vol. x., p. 6). They were recognised to have originated at a great distance, but the centres from which they sprang were not determined. Some years later, while seeking for a gravitational influence of the moon, the late Dr. E. von Rebeur-Paschwitz found on his records abnormal movements, several of which he traced to definite but very distant seismic centres. Before this, indeed, it had been predicted that a large earthquake occurring in any one part of the world would produce movements which, with proper instruments, would be recorded in any other part,2 but it was not until after von Rebeur's announcement that serious attention was directed to what has proved to be a line of research open to workers in all countries. Many instruments have been designed to record these unfelt breathings of our earth, but there is still much uncertainty in the interpretation of all their records." @default.
