About correlation of social tension and damaging earthquakes<br />

Dr. Oleg Molchanov<br />

Institute of the Physics of the Earth principal researcher <strong>IASPEI</strong><br />

It was found some correlation between unleash of social perturbations like wars and appearance of the<br />

great damaging earthquakes. The main features of the correlation are the following: a) Number of<br />

damaging earthquakes increased after beginning of the war. Time delay is several months in a case of<br />

local wars at Caucasus area and it is 1-5 years for the global wars; b)Decrease of damaging earthquake<br />

number occurred several years before great wars on global statistics; c) Such a correlation does not<br />

exist for total number of large earthquakes. The explanation is possible in terms of biotic regulation<br />

concept.<br />
