Images of the benioff zone in the lithosphere using electromagnetic energy released from stress in tectonic plates

Abstract

Different manifestations of electromagnetic phenomena have been reported in the scientific literature for many years, linking them with seismic events, from large to even 3.0 Ml earthquakes. Examples are pre-seismic and co-seismic luminescence, various forms of electric charge displacement and magnetic fields, stress generated electromagnetic pulses, radio wave generation by accelerated charges at different frequencies and even strange animal behavior. In this paper, we report several events of electromagnetic pulses associated with seismic events and registered by magnetometers and analyze several cases of EM phenomena leading to the determination of the physical morphology and other physical aspects of the lithosphere from passive reception of pulses associated with earthquakes.
