** “The scientific study of earthquakes
is comparatively new. Until the 18th century, few factual descriptions of
earthquakes were recorded, and the natural cause of earthquakes was little
understood. Those who did look for natural causes often reached conclusions
that seem fanciful today; one popular theory was that earthquakes were
caused by air rushing out of caverns deep in the Earth's interior.”
