The Quantum Mechanism of Earthquakes and Other Movements of the Earth's Crust on the Example of a Sudden Release of Rocks and Gas from a Rock Massif

Abstract

Serguei Bychkov

At the moment, in geophysics, there are several hypotheses explaining especially dangerous processes of movements of the earth's crust - sudden outbursts of rocks and gas from a rock massif. Despite the fact that a variety of macroscopic systems can be accurately described using classical mechanics and electrodynamics, the real mechanism and working model of this phenomenon have never been built. When developing the model of the sudden release of rocks and gas, new approaches and methods were used, different from the description of macroscopic systems. In this article, we have built a quantum version of the theory of the process of the ejection of rocks from a rock mass. In particular, we described the mechanism of the Coulomb explosion based on the quantum model of Mr. Bohr, which occurs in the rocks of the earth's crust with a sharp change in rock pressure, and on the basis of this mechanism, we built a model of the sudden release of rocks and gases. In our opinion, the quantum processes described by us can be sources not only of sudden outbursts and rock gases but also sources of more formidable phenomena - earthquakes and volcanic explosions, because, in our opinion, all disastrous movements of the earth's crust are carried out according to one mechanism, without any exceptions.
