Heat of Radium Melts Rocks in Earth, Causing Crust to Sink

By DAVID DIETZ, Science Editor of The Times. HI I IVERPOOL. England, Oct. 5. I , I According to Proressor Joly of 1 - J Dublin University, radium probably is at the bottom of earthquakes. In my first article I pointed out how a layer of basaltic rock contains the major portion Sos radium, accordory, which causes the earthquakes and volcanoes. Radium, as is disintegration genrocks composing DIETZ the surface of the continents are poorer conductors of heat than the heavier rocks underneath. Consequently, Joly believes that they act as blankets and hold in the heat generated by the disintegration of the radium. When this heat becomes sufficient, it causes the rocks to melt. This makes the foundation under the surface unstable and causes them to collapse. This causes an earthquake. At other times, the melted or molten rock finds its way to the surface through fissures in the rocks. The result of f his is a volcano. According to Joly’s theory, the amount of heat stored up ought to reach its maximum every' 30.000.000 years. Therefore, there ought to be periods of maximum earthquake and volcanic activity every 30,000,000 years. “We know that in the millions of cars of the earth’s history that there have been certain periods which were marked by intense earthquake and volcanic activity,” says Professor Gordon. “However, it is pretty difficult to say just how far apart these have been.” Judge by Loss Professor Gordon of the University of London points out we do the perfectly natural thing of judging the severity of an earthquake by the amount of damage and loss of life it causes. However,” he says. "It must be remembered that this ■'is no true criterion of the severity of the earth•:!nke from the geological point of view. ‘A very severe earthquake in open ■nintry would cause very little damage.
