It has been observed that, before some strong earthquakes occur, the space static electricity near the ground is abnormal, which might be caused by a large amount of radioactive gas released from the Earth's crust. In this paper, the information diffusion technology for optimally processing small samples is used to analyze 30 cases, and the relationship between magnitude and parameters such as abnormality of space static electricity is constructed. Each case is composed of four observation values: abnormality e, epicenter distance d, impending time t and magnitude m. Using the causal relationship constructed in this paper, the magnitude m of an impending earthquake could be approximately inferred from abnormality e. According to the progress of locking the epicenter and the passage of time, the predicted magnitude could be adjusted in a timely manner. The research results provided in this paper do not eliminate the uncertainty of earthquake occurrence, so that the study is a work of analyzing seismic dynamic risk. Integrating the monitoring information from seismic stations and the physical field information in the air will promote impending earthquake prediction, which is a worldwide scientific challenge.
