Extract

Prof. Prestwich, in his paper in the January Number of this MAGAZINE on the “Causes of Volcanic Action,” assumes the existence of hot reservoirs or cavities filled with molten rock, and cold reservoirs or cavities, nearer the surface, filled with water; and he supposes the shrinkage of the Earth to squeeze up the molten rock till it meets with the water, which then explodes, producing a volcano.
