Abstract

Experiments show that electromagnetic pulse anomalies could be observed in rock samples before rupture. In this paper, a method is proposed to identify the changes of geo-electric field pulses before earthquakes, which can be used to analyze the evolution characteristics of geo-electric field anomalies in the short and medium term before strong earthquakes. The low-frequency signal component (daily trend signal) in the geo-electric field observation data is removed, and the amplitude deviation of the high-frequency pulse signal from the normal distribution is calculated under logarithmic coordinates. The difference between the amplitude of the geo-electric field that deviates from the normal distribution and the fitting extrapolation amplitude that meets the normal distribution (ΔE) is used as the parameter to identify the pre-earthquake anomaly. The characteristics of geo-electric field pulse change before three earthquakes (≥6) in Northwest China from 2021 to 2022 are analyzed. The results show that the amplitude enhancement of geo-electric field pulse changes at the monthly prediction scale, which has a certain correlation with the occurrence of earthquakes (≥6) around the station.
