Definitions
- the invention relates to seismic measurement and, in particular, to electrical measurements of soil for earthquake prediction.
- the electrical parameters of soil usually can be measured by a standard voltmeter including a pair of electrodes .
- One such electrode should be placed underneath the soil, the second such electrode should be placed on the earth surface.
- the intensity of the ground water evaporation is determined by the earth's surface temperature T g .
- T g the earth's surface temperature
- K there is a correlation K between the changes in the vertical component of the gradient of the electrical field U h associated with the ground water evaporation, and the changes in the earth's surface temperature T s .
- the correlation factor K is positive.
- the positive correlation K means that the more evaporation of the ground water from the earth surface takes place, the stronger is the vertical component of the gradient of electrical field U h .
- the elastic deformation of the rocks during the earthquake preparation causes the redistribution of the ions between the ground water in the area between the layer of quartz containing rock and the earth's surface.
- the redistribution of ions is related to the piezoelec- trie effect in the layer of quartz. Indeed, the piezoelectrical effect leads to such an ion concentration redistribution in the double electrical layers at the border where water contacts quartz, that some amount of the negatively charged ions leaves the quartz containing volume. The effect is proportional to the deformation speed. Therefore, the correlation factor K becomes negative.
- the maximum amount of the charge redistribution in the diffused ground water occurs when that water changes its polarity from plus to minus. If this is the case, the correlation factor K becomes close to minus one. This corresponds to the extremum of the velocity of pressure and to the maximum of the piezoelectric effect in the layer of quartz associated with the earthquake preparation.
- the correlation parameter K is a function of time r between the present moment and the time of the occurrence of the impending earthquake: K(r). It is also clear that the deformation of the quartz minerals is used to store the elastic energy released by an impending earthquake, and therefore can be used to predict the forthcoming earthquake.
- the present invention is unique because it allows one to achieve the measurements of strong variations of the vertical gradient of the electrical field of the soil U h associated with the incoming earthquake.
- One aspect of the present invention is directed to a device for measuring the vertical component U h of the electrical field gradient of the soil.
- the device comprises: (1) at least two electrodes, the temperature sensor, and the humidity sensor; and (2) a measurement and control device.
- Each electrode further comprises: (1) a first conductive element; (2) a second conductive element; and a capacitor element having a finite resistance to d.c. current, and having a substantially large effective electrical capacitance.
- the vertical component U h of the electrical field gradient of the soil is measured by the measurement and control device.
- the capacitor further comprises: (1) a first conductive plate; (2) a second conductive plate; and (3) a layer of semiconductor.
- the layer of semiconductor further includes an organic semiconductor.
- the layer of organic semiconductor further includes a polyanilin organic semiconductor.
- the capacitor has a capacitance greater than 0.001 farad (F).
- the apparatus comprises: (1) a sensoring circuit for measuring the parameters of soil and for generating a sensoring signal; (2) a processing circuit for receiving the sensoring signal (SS), for processing the sensoring signal, and for generating a prediction signal (PS); (3) a receiving circuit for receiving a command signal from a central station to initiate the transmission of the PS signal; and (4) a transmitting circuit for transmitting the PS signal to a customer.
- the sensoring circuit further includes: (1) a water humidity sensor for monitoring the soil humidity changes ; (2) a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature T s of the soil surface; and (3) a pair of electrodes for measuring the vertical component U h of the electrical field gradient associated with the mechanical movement of the soil water, a first electrode being located at a certain depth h 0 beneath an earth surface, wherein the depth h 0 is determined by the depth of the quartz containing hard rock layer, and a second electrode being located beneath the earth surface at a certain depth h x substantially close to the earth surface.

- Fig. 3B shows a double dipole model (62) for an elastic energy stored in an earthquake.
- the disclosed method for predicting an earthquake assumes the existence of the piezoelectric minerals like quartz (82) separated from the surface of the earth by the narrow layer (about 1 meter) (84) of the brittle rocks.
- the ground water saturates the rocks and fills up the cracks and pores within them.
- the ground water after reaching the earth surface naturally evaporates .
- the vertical electrical field (U h ) is formed in the soil because this capillary effect causes the ground water to have the number of positive ions in excess of the number of negative ions. This is explained by the fact that when water contacts hard minerals, double electrical layers are formed which are positively charged at the water side.
- the intensity of the ground water evaporation is determined by the earth's surface temperature T s .
- T s the earth's surface temperature
- the positive correlation K means that the more evaporation of the ground water from the earth surface takes place, the stronger is the vertical component of the gradient of electrical field U h .
- the evaporation from the earth's surface is decreased if there is an increased humidity of the air due to rain or due to any other source of increased humidity.
- the W sensor data sharply changes from its normal condition value to a value affected by the rain.
- the elastic deformation of the rocks during the earthquake preparation causes the redistribution of the ions between the ground water in the area (84 of Fig. 4), between the layer of quartz containing rock ( 82 ) and the earth's surface.
- the redistribution of ions is related to the piezoelectric effect in the layer of quartz. Indeed, the piezoelectrical effect leads to such an ion concentration redistribution in the double electrical layers at the border where water contacts quartz, that some amount of the negatively charged ions leaves the quartz containing volume. The effect is proportional to the deformation speed. Therefore, the correlation factor K becomes negative.
- the maximum amount of the charge redistribution in the diffused ground water occurs when the ground water changes its polarity from plus to minus. If this is the case, the correlation factor K becomes close to minus one. This corresponds to the extremum of the velocity of pressure and to the maximum of the piezo- electric effect in the layer of quartz (82) associated with the earthquake preparation.
- the correlation parameter K is a function of time r between the present moment and the time of the occurrence of the impending earthquake: K(r). It is also clear that the deformation of the quartz minerals is used to store the elastic energy released by an impending earthquake, and therefore can be used to predict the forthcoming earthquake.
- ⁇ 0 is a moment of time (90 of Fig. 5) when the correlation factor K starts the move to change its polarity
- ⁇ m is a moment of time (92 of Fig. 5) when the correlation factor K reaches its extremum negative value
- ⁇ . a is a time period (94 of Fig. 5) between the moment of time r m when the correlation factor K reaches its extremum negative value (the moment of the extremum the precursor of the earthquake) and the commencement of earthquake itself;
- K 0 is a "noise" value of K associated with non-earthquake factors like rains, etc. If the earthquake is a strong one, the K factor can be approximated as follows:
- variable x can approximate the time dependence of the vertical component of the gradient of electrical field U h (r)
- variable y can approximate the time dependence of the soil temperature T s (r).
- B is an empirical constant that depends on the specificity of the elastic energy release by an earthquake
- 'd' is an energy class of an earthquake related to the magnitude of an earthquake (see formula (2) and discussion above) .
- Fig. 4 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the electrode 74 of measurement apparatus (70) is buried underneath the earth surface at the depth of 0.1-0.3 meters; the electrode 72 is located close to the layer of quartz 82 at the depth of approximately one meter.
- the temperature (76) and the humidity (78) sensors are located at the earth's surface.
- the electrodes 74 and 72 comprise material including an organic semiconductor.
- both the first conductive element (113) and the second conductive element (115) comprise a graphite element.
- a capacitor (119) between the conductive elements should have a very substantial capacitance greater than 0.001 farad (F).
- the pair of electrodes (111) can be used for purposes of measurement of the major variations in the vertical gradient of the electrical field associated with the forthcoming earthquake.
- the minor variations in the vertical component of the electrical field associated with the sources other than incoming earthquake are filtered out because the apparatus (70) of Fig. 4 including the elec- trodes (111) of Fig. 10 does not react on the minor variations of the vertical component of gradient of the electrical field.
