• TITLE: Earthquake as a Coherent Electromagnetic Emitter. Its Electromagnetic Voice May or May Not Sound

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Earthquake Research, Vol.14 No.1, February 26, 2025

  ABSTRACT: The idea of the earthquake (EQ) focus as a coherent electromagnetic (EM) emitter is suggested. This idea elucidates enigmatic properties of the EM voice of the focus: its emission is not continuous, occurring periodically in flashes, which are structured as the pulses occurring in bursts; the EM activity increases starting approximately two weeks before the EQ and becomes very weak or completely disappears one day before the EQ (gap of silence). The mechanism of coherency starts with electric discharges of any mini-cracks as a mini-capacitor, which generates EM waves; the latter induces discharges of other cracks, multiplying the amplitude of the wave and creating the pulse of seismic EM signal. It is an avalanche-like mechanism of coherency, which transforms even weak EM signals into intensive EM seismic flashes.
