In this paper, geoelectrical field anomalies at Changli and Xingji station in Hebei Province were analyzed before five remote earthquakes. It was found that the anomalies mainly occurred two or three months before earthquakes, which is of importance to short-term and impendent earthquake prediction. There exhibited different characteristics in geoelectrical field anomalies, but they were closely related to tidal waves, for example, the increasing in amplitude at semidiurnal and semimonthly periods of tidal waves; the decreasing or disappearing in amplitude of tidal waves that should have been recorded normally at that time; while there accompanied incremental signals with high frequency, such as jump variations. It was thought that the formation mechanism of the geoelectrical anomalies before strong earthquakes resulted from stress-strain resonance effects when rock was weakened during the preparation process in seismic area, and then signals of electric field propagated to remote stations in free space or crust, and superposed on the geoelectric field tidal waves recorded at the stations, leading to increasing or decreasing in amplitude of geoelectrical tidal waves. The high frequency signals may be related to the variation of rock porosity, permeability and so on beneath the stations, as a result of the dynamic effects of remote earthquakes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
