THE EARTH CRUST
Its Density, its Thickness and the
Pressure it Exerts,
A BAR TO WORLD EXPLQSiON..
The Reasons Why This Old Planet of
Ours, With All Its Pentup Fiery,
Volcanic or Gaseous Forces at Work,
Could Never Be Blown to Fragments,
Some writers. have accounted for the
nsterotds on the theory that they are
the fragments of a world that from
some unknown cause has been explod-
ed in its orbit. Similarly, many have
thought that perhaps at some distant
time, when the seas shall have been
drunk up into the cracked and thick-
ened crust of the age shrunken earth
and the volcanoes -those vents of the
fiery interior --shall bare become chok-
ed and extinct, the pentup gases gener-
ated from the descending moisture by
the stili great internal heat may ac-
tually explode the old earth like a
,veritable bombshell.
But that can never happen.
In 1883 Krakatoa, a sleepy old vol.
cane on a small island in the strait
of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra,
began to show marked signs of uneasi-
ness. round the volcano the quaking
earth opened enormous fissures in the
bottom of the sea, down which rushed
Niagaras of water. Then the fissures
closed and confined the engulfed flood
In the hot subterranean depths. The
water was quickly converted into
pteam, the steam into dissociated
stases, without room for expansion.
It exerted a pressure equal to that
of the strongest dynamte.
The great, chimney of Krakatoa,
sealed since the memory of man,
barred the normal path of escape.
Higher and higher mounted the pres-
sure under the bug mass of the vol-
cano; then, of a sudden, came a blast
that actually shook the earth. Never
before in historic time had there been
such a shock. The whole top of the old`
mountain was blown into the sky. The
recoil was distinctly felt clear through
the terrestrial ball.
'.Phis great cataclysm has been cited
as an indication of the power of the
pentup forces that may some day dis-
rupt the earth itself. Let us examine
the underlying principles that trust
guide us in passing judgment on the
correctness of this theory.
An explosive compound is a combust-
ible combined mechanically or chem-
ically either with oxygen or with an
oxidizing substance that will burn with-
out the help of atmospheric oxygen.
Among the most powerful high ex-
plosives are nitrogeltttin and picric
acid, each of which has n density more
than one and a half times• that of
water. The products of their combus-
tion are nearly all gaseous, whereas the.
products of the cornbustion.e1{'orii1nnry
black guupolydar ;ire less than half
gases 3. 'rhe larger part is the solid
utter that makes the smoke.
}The energy that a high explosive can
exert depends on the volume of the
uses liberated and the temperature to
which the heat of the explosion can
raise them.
The exact temperature of the gases
liberated by n high exlilosive at the in•
5tnnt of detonation is not absolutely
known. btt.t may he approximately
learned through chemical experiment.
Nor is tiie amount or pressure known
with absolute c'ertainty. It is probable,
however, thnt nitroglycerin, nitrag;eln-
tin and picric acid, when detonated in
a confined space. exert n pressure soipe
cohere between 000.000 and 500,000
hounds to the square inch.
1f we assuiue that the earth crust
has a density five titres that of crater
and that Its average thickness is fifty ,
miles, then it follows that it exerts a
pressure or more than 500,000 pounds
to the square tarn; it the crust is a
hundred miles thick, then the pressure
Is more than n million bounds to the
square inch --a pressure certainly great-
er than the expansive force exerted by
the most powerful high explosive.
Plainly, no quantity of high explosive
detonated under the trust of the earth
would be able to lift it, and consequent-
ly we know that no world of the size
of the earth can ever explode from its
own pentup internal force's.
If, then, no high explosive force is
sufficient to blow up a world the size
of the earth, how can worlds explode?
There is only one way in which the
heavenly bodies can become possessed
of sufficient energy actually to blow
up, and that is by collision.
° The stars are flying about In space
with velocities that range all the way
from five miles a second to 500 miles a
second,
If two celestial orbs, traveling each
at a velocity of 200 miles a second, met
in a head-on collision they would be
fused and gasified by the impact, and
the heat generated would be sufficient
to break up the matter of boot into its
ultimate elements and to expaitcl it Into
nebulous haze. This is the way In
which science says that new sans, new
nebulae and new stars are bt rn.-iiud
