it is obvious that most of these earthquakes are located on plate boundaries and deep seated normal faults versus shallow to flat lying detachment faults. IF earth quakes are in part an electromagetic event, perhaps being akin to a capacitor discharge, there should be lots of ways to study further:
1. measure positive and negative charge build up on each side of fault (ie capacitor). This might be done indirectly by measuring the EM field over faults?
2. during ion storms related to coronal holes, where pressure lows coincide with faults, measure increase and rate of charge increase across faults.
3. measure change in EM and charge before and after earthquake (capacitor discharge).
Lots of questions like:
1. Assuming the earth acts like a capacitor, with a fault acting like a barrier/insulator between oppositely charged plates, is it the addition of more charge and or the rate of charge, overcoming the insulator that triggers an earth quake?
2. How much charge can segments of a deep seated fault hold?
3. Is it possible to artificially induce discharge resulting in low richter scale earthquakes in order to prevent
large charge build up and therefore large (>M6) earthquakes?
