Relationship between terrestrial seismicity and the state of the interplanetary medium and atmospheric processes
Abstract
A review of earthquake data indicates that powerful earthquakes occur during restructurings of the temperature-pressure field on the territory around the epicenter, while the quake magnitude depends on the magnitude of these restructurings. It is suggested that the relationship between terrestrial seismicity and solar and interplanetary phenomena should be viewed as a consequence of the pulsed effect of these latter phenomena on the earth's atmosphere. Solar activity is seen as a disturbing factor, ultimately leading to the disruption of quasi-equilibrium states or unstable equilibriums in the earth core and upper mantle.
