The ROCKETEER. with this issue, begins the first of a three-part series about earthquakes - their probable causes, their likelihood of occurance in the Indian Wells Valley, and some courses of action which people can take to alleviate their effects. Ancient Greeks attributed earthquakes to the moods of Poseidon. god of the sea; when this trident-wielding diety became angry. he shook the earth. Some early American Indians. on the other hand. believed that a tortoise supported the earth. and that the earth trembled when the creature took a step. "Earthquake prediction still hasn·t gotten to the point where it is yet a science. although. particularly for the last 20 years. people have been working awfully hard at it." according to Dr. Pierre St. Amand. head of the Research Department's Earth and Planetary Sciences Division and an internationally-recognized expert on ear- thquakes. Most quakes occur. Dr. St. Amand ex- plains. within 100 miles on all sides of the Pacific Ocean.
