Zusammenfassung |
Using case study of earthquake (EQ) activity and war
conflicts in Caucasus during 1975–2002 time interval and correlation
analysis of global distribution of damaging EQs and war-related social
tension during 1901–2005 period we conclude:
- There is a statistically reliable increase of social tension several years
(or several months in case study) before damaging EQs,
- There is evident decrease of social tension several years after damaging
EQs, probably due to society consolidation,
- Preseismic effect is absent for the large EQs in unpopulated areas,
- There is some factual background for legendary belief in Almighty
retribution for social abnormal behavior.
