| Zusammenfassung |
| The present work contains some results
of observations of neutron flux variations near the Earth’s surface. The
Earth’s crust is determined to be a significant source of thermal and
slow neutrons, originated from the interaction between the nuclei of the
elements of the Earth’s crust and the atmosphere and α-particles, produced by decay of radioactive gases (Radon, Thoron and
Actinon). In turn, variations of radioactive gases exhalation is connected
with geodynamical processes in the Earth’s crust, including tectonic
activity. This determined relation between the processes in the Earth’s
crust and neutrons’ flux allow to use variations of thermal and slow
neutrons’ flux in order to observe increasing tectonic activity and to
develop methods for short-term prediction of natural hazards. |
