Overview

Excerpt from Waves on a Sphere The passage of a wave over the entire surface of the earth is certainly not an impossible phenomenon. It is probable that in prehistoric times there were some terrific submarine volcanic explosions which created water waves of such force that they traveled enormous distances; and it is even possible that some of these waves were propagated back to the point of disturbance after collision at the antipodal point. This is just the be havior which certain atmospheric waves exhibited during the eruption of Krakatoa, the most gigantic volcanic action known to man.
