Well now I am hella curious: What did they think caused earthquakes before the 60s? 🤔

You kid but, at least in the US, we’re going to be perpetually a week away from returning to that time for the next 3 years and change - best case scenario.
Actually the post is wrong. Geologists had the general idea long before that. The detailed explanations were missing, but matching rock formations and borders and using common sense is quite old.
My grandfather went to school for geology in the 60’s (US), and told me that plate tectonics was taught to him as a new/tentative thing.
I wonder if some element could be related to being in the south - plate tectonics doesn’t really align with creationism that well, and too this day you can’t really safely teach human evolution. (Yesterday, I informed a high schooler that dinosaurs were real. He was pretty happy to learn this.)
