The electric charges carried by water moving through the faulting system - acting as high sensitive path (CECA) - generate currents of high intensity that, in their turn, create disturbances of the magnetic field monitorized at GOPS

  6. Basic theoretical concept of the EMprecursors

  7. Normalized function Bzn and the concept cause (resistivity variation) – effect (Bzn anomalous) For a 2D structure the vertical magnetic component (Bz) is produced mainly by the magnetic component perpendicular to strike (B┴) and their normalized function Bzn (f) = Bz (f) / B┴ (f) , (1) should be time invariant for a given 2D structure in non seismic conditions (Ward et al., 1970) and it becomes instable some days before an EQ (Stanica and Stanica 2010, 2011 ). In terms of resistivity, we also may compute: ρz(f)=0.2/f .│E║(f)/Bz(f)│2, (2) ρ║(f)= 0,2/f .│E║(f)/B┴(f)│2 , (3) where: f is frequency [Hz] and E║ is electric field parallel to the strike [V/m] In terms of resistivity: │Bzn(f) │= [ρ║(f)/ ρz(f)]1/2 (4) n = ρ║(f)/ ρz(f) (5) Bzn anomalouscould be linked withthe resistivity variationinto the Earth lithosphere

  10. DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSING • 2D geoelectrical structure validation • - GOPS is placed on the CECA which is generated by • a 2D structurein the frequency range 0.001-0.0083Hz; • 2. A FFT band-pass filter analysis, in the frequency range 0.001-0.0083Hz, has been performed for two successive time windows of 1024 samples, with 60% overlapping, on the entirely time series of 1440 data points acquired each day ; • 3. The new geomagnetic time series were used to calculate the daily averaged values of the normalized function Bzn and its standard deviation (STDEV) ;

  16. Results In this study, it is considered that in pre - seismic conditions the Bzn has an anomalous behavior, due to the lithospheric resistivity changes, generated by the torsion processes of the seismogenic volume, associated with increase stress and fluid flow through the high conductivity path (CECA) extended to the GOPS
