Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 178, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 July 1919 — Volcanoes in Britain. [ARTICLE]

Volcanoes in Britain.

The two great centers of earthquake activity in the British isles are Comrte, in Perthshire, and Mersea island, in the mouth of the Blackwater, on the Essex coast. In both these localities earthquakes are frequent, and earthquakes are usually a sign of volcanic activity. Highly unpleasant as it would be, geologists would be no more surprised at the resurrection of one of the British volcanoes than they have been at the rebirth of Mount burz. x
