...logical reason for the frequency of earthquakes along the shores of the Pacific, Dr. Beno Gutenberg of Pasadena presented a thesis that the Pacific Ocean represents a vast area from which Earth has lost 20 miles of outside skin. That "raw spot in Mother Earth's side promises to explain the true nature of Earth's disturbances, the crustal movements appearing to extend along the edges of the skinless areas. We shall never be able to predict the day on which an earthquake will occur. But it is possible that we shall be able to set the date to within...
