About This Item
Washington, D.C.: GPO Magazine. Good. Soft cover. pp271-279. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, JULY, 1894. VG. In plastic report covers. From the introduction: "The question is frequently asked, 'How can latitude change?' There are two ways, obviously. First, we may imagine that a portion of the earth slips on the surface of the globe, due, say, to earthquake shock. Then if the movement of the mass has been toward the equator the latitude of that place is decreased; if toward the pole of the earth the latitude is increased. But suppose that some forces at work on the earth cause it to revolve about a new axis, then we have at once a new equator, and the latitudes of all points on the earth's surface change except at those places where the old and new equator intersect.".
