Abstract

Strong magnetic anomalies repeatedly took place before big earthquakes. Based on geomagnetic record analysis results, we discussed a possible pattern of the magnetic anomalies prior to earthquake. In meizoseismal area or epicenter, in a time period of 36 hours to 10s minutes before earthquake, the exceptional big geomagnetic change increases with the magnitude of earthquake. We calculated that, in a place of 1 km from the epicenter, the magnetic anomaly before destructive earthquakes of Ms 6.0~9.5 can reach to 102~105 nT(the magnitude of earth's magnetic field is 5.5×104 nT), rather than the magnitude of 101 nT from seismomagnetic effect theories since 1964.From this we speculated the abnormal magnetic ULF near epicenter before earthquake seems to be an "intermittent magnetic eruption" . Accordingly, we proposed that geomagnetic induction earthquake pre-warning can be a new early warning method to surmount hardship in solving the puzzledom of earthquake imminent prediction.
