When the snakes awake: animals and earthquake prediction
Book
·
OSTI ID:5345152
Helmet Tributsch, a physical chemist, searched the literature and collected anecdotal reports of abnormal animal behavior during 77 earthquakes, besides the 1976 Friuli earthquake that destroyed his home village in northern Italy. His findings are presented in ''When the Snakes Awake''. In the book he also describes observations of several other phenomena thought to precede earthquakes--fog, lights and sound--and discusses various hypotheses. On the basis of the available circumstantial evidence, he makes a strong argument for the attribution of these phenomena to an increase in the number of electrostatically charged particles in the atmosphere, generated by the tectonically stressed crust.
