Block-shear earthquake model
Considered convective flows in cavities of the Earth, causing pin shear deformation with the interaction of a curved orthogonal parallelepipeds, with the formation of voids, cracks, crevices minirity. Describe the various mechanisms of accumulation and discharge of energy dams - irreversible shifts, contributing to inflation and locking in one direction of energy in each cycle of compression. When changes occur vibration, warming-up, the formation of new materials, explosions (shale, etc.), water hammer, steam catapults, etc. Explained the effect of the Kaiser, and the phenomenon of intersections of deformations (the San Andreas), the appearance in the surface shear bands minirity cracks parallel.
