Electrokinetic phenomena associated with earthquakes

Abstract
Electrokinetic phenomena induced by ground water flow associated with earthquakes are proposed to provide a possible means of earthquake prediction. Detectable variations of earth currents, electric potential and geomagnetic field may be caused by diffusion of fluid into a dilatant focal region. The principle of electrokinetic phenomena may be used for earthquake control by controlling the water flow with an artificial electric potential field.
