The detection of electromagnetic processes in the ionosphere caused by seismic activity

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a new direction in the investigation of earthquakes through the research of electromagnetic processes in the ionosphere caused by seismic activity. To accomplish this objective, the main perturbations of the ionosphere caused by earthquakes are considered, the connection mechanisms between the lithosphere and the ionosphere are analysed, and the possibility to establish a warning for the occurrence of earthquakes by means of space and ground methods is discussed.
