Abstract

The search for ways to predict earthquakes, including predicting the point in time when they will occur and their possible coordinates and energy, is a global scientific problem. Researchers have discovered a number of natural phenomena that can be considered their precursors. Changes that occur in Earth’s ionosphere due to the emissions of radioactive radon in the compression regions are also related to earthquakes. They lead to the creation of an additional glow of heavy dust particles in a wide range of wavelengths (including the microwave and infrared ranges). The physical origin of this phenomenon is that sufficiently fast alpha particles interact with neutral air molecules and cause their ionization. The resulting ions charge heavy dust particles in the air with sufficient electric field strength to ionize the air. At the same time, these processes are accompanied by the neutralization of charged dust particles by air ions due to the recombination process. The published experimental data on the size of the region in which heavy dust particles glow and the observed times of glowing make it possible to estimate the typical sizes of these particles.

地震期间地球大气中大量尘埃的辉光

摘要

寻找预测地震的方法，包括预测地震发生的时间点及其可能的坐标和能量，是一个全球性的科学问题。研究人员发现了许多自然现象，可以将其视为先兆。由于压缩区域中放射性emissions的排放，地球电离层发生的变化也与地震有关。它们导致在宽范围的波长（包括微波和红外范围）中产生额外的重尘埃粒子辉光。此现象的物理原因是足够快的α粒子与中性空气分子相互作用并导致其电离。所产生的离子以足够的电场强度将空气中的重尘埃粒子带走，以使空气电离。同时，这些过程伴随着由于重组过程而被空气离子中和带电灰尘颗粒的过程。已发表的有关重尘埃颗粒发光区域的尺寸的实验数据以及观察到的发光时间使估算这些颗粒的典型尺寸成为可能。
