contents We are interested in a result found in the thesis of the astronomer Alexandre Véronnet (1876-1951) : "Precession of a fluid ring rotating along a parallel axis. Zone of maximum crustal compression at 35$^\circ$. A cause of earthquakes". In 1912, Alexandre Véronnet hypothesizes that the Earth's rotation influences the occurrence of earthquakes in the 35th parallel zone. Has this hypothesis been taken up by other authors, geophysicists, seismologists, etc.? Has it been confirmed or refuted? What is the literature on this subject? Our aim is not to draw a conclusion on this hypothesis but to examine the dissemination of a scientific result.
