Irregularities in the earth, such as masses of rock of lower or higher density than the surrounding material, or of higher or lower electrical conductivity influence the natural physical fields of the earth or artificial physical fields that can be found on the ground in question.

But the world war proved too great a strain. Even the more advanced countries found the existing system unsatisfactory and introduced war governments, which smacked strongly of dictatorships. In the less advanced countries the war led to total collapse, as in Russia and in Turkey...
