Figure 4.6
Modern examples of construction by earthquakes. Top: the surface at Fra
Ramondo in Calabria. Note the breakage of olive trees between up—and
downthrusted parts of the hill. Bottom: two obelisks on the facade of the
convent of S. Bruno in Stefano del Bosco, Italy. Each is built of three sections,
and repeated earthquakes have loosened the blocks and rotated them to
different positions. (From first edition of Lyell's Principles. )
