О ВОЗМОЖНОЙ СВЯЗИ СЕЙСМИЧЕСКИХ ТОЛЧКОВ С ВОЗДЕЙСТВИЕМ СОЛНЕЧНОГО ВЕТРА (РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ПРИМЕРЫ)

Abstract

Disruptions of unstable equilibrium in the corresponding tectonic structures causing the onset of earthquakes are put in relation to Sun spot flares and coronal mass ejections. They generate magnetic clouds of solar wind plasma moving at much higher speed than the constant background to the Earth. The author assumes that additional energy is introduced to shallow earthquake foci due to the action of breakthrough injections into the Earth’s near-surface region of plasma clumps of geoeffective solar wind components disconnected into the magnetosphere. As a research tool, we used the method of graphical correlation between bursts of geoeffective solar wind parameter values and the occurrence of subsequent starts and repetitions of earthquake shocks. The examples given for Europe, South Asia, the Indian and Pacific oceans coasts consistently confirm the validity of the author's analytical understanding of the earthquake shocks beginning as a result of the destruction of the subsurface by injections of solar wind plasma clots in earthquake-prone zones. The problem under study is considered to be relevant in connection with the implementation of targeted forecast work. In the General scientific plan, consideration of the influence of solar-meter origins of factors are proposed to be included in the programs of studying earthquakes as one of their items. The obtained results should serve as a dynamic addition to the information placed on the maps of seismic zoning.
