Dielectric Spectroscopy and ELP-Prediction of Earthquakes

Utilizing mechanical changes in Earth's lithosphere to predict earthquakes prior to disaster: Since earthquakes occur along areas of geologic fault, electro-physical progressions originate electric relaxators processes, that are characterized with a considerable time constant with electric activity that is referred to as Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF, up to 30 Hz) Electromagnetic waves usable for earlier disaster mitigation. Slow elastic deformation of the rocks result in the strain build up in the crust. Result of these pre-disaster mechanical processes would be: Additional Time-varying ELF electric field, caused by surface charges that are due to the polarization of the crusts' heterogeneities on the plates and faults - Even more electric fields, generated by the piezo-effect of the stressed rocks - and Formation of space charge as a result of localized heterogeneity, attributable to different dielectric permittivity and resistivity. Polarization processes, piezoelectric found in the crust and space charge, contribute to these effects. Detecting these groups of phenomena and combination of these methods can improve the predictability of earthquakes.
