In connection with identification of VLF emissions before L'Aquila earthquake
The present paper deals with an attempt to check up the theoretical model of
self-generated seismo-electromagnetic oscillations of LAI system on the basis
of retrospective data. Application of the offered simple model enables one to
explain qualitatively the mechanism of VLF electromagnetic emission initiated
in the process of an earthquake preparation. It is worth to pay attention to
the fact that frequency changes from MHz to kHz in electromagnetic emission
spectrum comes to a good agreement with avalanche-like unstable model of fault
formation. L'Aquila earthquake taken as an example to isolate reliably the
Earth VLF emission from the magnetospheric electromagnetic emission of the same
frequency range, MHD criterion is offered together with geomagnetic activity
indexes. On the basis of the considered three earthquakes, according to the
opinion of authors the model of self-generated seismo-electromagnetic
oscillations of the LAI system will enable us to approach the problem of
resolution of earthquake prediction by certain accuracy.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Connection of large earthquakes occurring moment with the movement of the Sun and the Moon and with the Earth crust tectonic stress character
It is acceptable that earthquakes certain exogenous (cosmic) triggering factors may exist in every seismoactive (s/a) region and in Caucasus among them. They have to correct earthquake occurring moment or play the triggering role in case when the region is at the limit of the critical value of the geological medium of course. <br><br> Our aim is to reveal some exogenous factors possible to initiate earthquakes, on example of Caucasus s/a region, taking into account that the region is very complex by the point of view of the tectonic stress distribution. <br><br> The compression stress directed from North to South (and vice versa) and the spread stress directed from East to West (and vice versa) are the main stresses acted in Caucasus region. No doubt that action of the smallest external stress may "work" as earthquakes triggering factor. <br><br> In the presented work the Moon and the Sun perturbations are revealed as initiative agents of earthquakes when the directions of corresponding exogenous forces coincide with the directions of the compression stress or the spreading tectonic stress in the region
