Based on these results and the long-term research of earthquakes and volcanic activity, the authors of this article put forward a hypothesis about the mainly chemical nature of the energy released at earthquakes and volcanic eruptions with the participation of primordial hydrogen and helium: high mobility of hydrogen and oxidizers provide focusing and accumulation of the latent chemical energy, which is realized suddenly and instantaneously as explosions and initiate the earthquake and/or eruptions. The volcanic eruption is viewed therein as a special type of earthquake whereby the hypocenter rises to the earth’s surface. The authors proposed a new hypothesis that LENRs significant energy to earthquakes and eruptions at the synthesis of elements lighter than iron, thus creating excess energy, which is partially used for the synthesis of heavier elements. The combination of the chemical and nuclear reactions transforms these centers of geophysical activity into giant reactors where the nuclear, chemical, and thermal transformation of mantle materials and the creation of primary deposits of heavy elements such as uranium, thorium, gold, etc. So, all chemical elements heavier than iron are not detected in the solar wind. These elements discovered on our planet could be (and probably were) created on planet Earth and not imported from explosive supernovae or far-off remote stars. To the best of our knowledge, this hypothesis has not been proposed until now.展开更多

Those hypotheses are based on the conversion of all types of released energy into heat and active chemical substances. One of the important sources of this phenomenon is the release of the latent energy trapped and stored during the Earth’s accretion. The latent energy of primordial hydrogen and helium escaping from the Earth’s core and lower mantle causes degassing processes [2] [3]. This latent energy converts into totally different types of chemical, electromagnetic and thermal energies of active compounds that are responsible for the major endogenic terrestrial processes. The dominating theories in seismology and volcanology are that an earthquake results from a sudden slip of a tectonic fault and that only magma and the gases contained in magma supply the volcanic energy resulting in the conclusions that earthquakes and eruptions are unpredictable. Volcanic eruption is considered herein to be a special case of the earthquake-process in which earthquake hypocenters rise to the Earth’s surface. A possible solution is proposed ([1] and herein) based on the analyses of the physicochemical processes as participants in earthquake and eruption preparations (foreshocks - major shock - aftershocks - volcanic eruptions) and on the characteristic rates of reflection of these processes on the Earth’s surface. Influences of Sun-Moon-tides and volcanic (“harmonic”) tremors are analyzed from physical-chemical point of view. The case of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and the proposed monitoring of the recommended additional data provides a way of selecting a complex of reliable earthquake and volcanic eruption precursors.展开更多

The emerging conclusions are that the mechanism of the strong earthquake is a chemical explosion; that volcanic eruption is a special type of earthquake wherein the hypocenter rises to the earth-surface; and that there is an association between the seismic-volcanic processes and mantle ＂fluids＂ and the lack of energy for mantle plumes. A conceptual system of hypoth- eses is put forward to explain the conservation of energy during Earth＇s accretion, its quasi-stable release by primordial H- and He-degassing and of the crucial role of the energy of degassing-eomprising- reactions in endogenic processes. Specific mechanisms and chemical processes are proposed for the gas-liquid mantle plumes melting through the solid mantle using heat-energy released in reactions of their metamorphic and chemical transformation under gradual decrease of pressure and temperature; volcanic gases are put forward as energy carriers. 3He performance as a unique measuring transformer correlative to the internal heat flow was used for calculation of energy release by degassing; it equals to 5.12 × 1020 J/yr, an amount of energy five-fold greater than the entire energy loss involved in earthquake and volcanic activity. The hypotheses proposed are objectively testable.展开更多

Based on thermodynamic approach, a new hypothesis of the Earth’s magnetic field, created by thermo-electrochemical processes of the Earth’s degassing, gravitational differentiation and their energy, is proposed. The ion-exchange, extraction and solidification are sources of the ionic currents on solid core and lower mantle boundaries. These currents are carried by thermo-chemical flows, which create the primary exciting magnetic field. This field is amplified mostly by thermoelectricity generated by heat flow thus improving the heat and matter transport from the Earth’s core and lower mantle to surface. Migration of the solidification zones and inner core precession are the main causes of changes of the main magnetic field intensity and reversals of its polarity.展开更多
