Energy Estimation as Earthquake Precursor, Using the Energy of the Radiated Particles with the Help of Monte Carlo Methods

In this study, utilizing the relationships between the energy of atomic/nuclear particles released from underground piezoelectric rocks and the elastic energy stored in these rocks, we introduced some methods to estimate the time/energy of incoming earthquakes in aseismic regions by measuring the energy of radiated particles. Since piezoelectric granite rocks make up approximately ۶۰% of the Earth's crust, the increase in the energy of the detected particles in a certain period of time can be considered as an important precursor for the impending shallow earthquake. This analysis holds significant promise for enhancing the earthquake time and energy estimation methodologies. The detection of radiated particles from piezoelectric rocks can be achieved by utilizing detectors placed either on the surface or inside deep wells that are drilled near active faults. However, it is essential to note that the presented methodologies are approximations, as they rely on constant parameters for the piezoelectric material and presuppose that earthquakes occur within a piezoelectric block.
