Electromagnetic Wave - Earthquake Mechanism

updated 30 March 2025

The gravitational force as described in classical mechanics has long been presented as the only interaction between celestial bodies, which has led to an agreement and a consensus that the influence of the planets is negligible. There is still a tendency in mainstream science to present this assumption as proof that planets cannot trigger earthquakes. We say assumption, because planetary positions near the time of large earthquakes have never been thoroughly studied and there is not much scientific literature about this subject. Our long-time observations and subsequent studies have shown that large earthquakes have occurred at the time of very specific planetary geometry convergence, such as the 1960 Chilean earthquake and the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, whereby Earth was not directly involved. Also, the work of John H. Nelson (RCA) and observations such as earthquake lightning and unusual high altitude atmospheric forcing (see below), seem to point at the electromagnetic force. This would seem logical since the electromagnetic force is much stronger than the gravitational force and electromagnetic waves greatly interact with matter on the atomic level. This is why our focus has been on the electromagnetic force and why our SSGI models are based on the geometric properties of the electromagnetic wave. These models show an obvious relationship between significant geometry in the Solar System and seismic activity on Earth, in particular temporal clusters, such as on 23-24 June 2014.

Based on years-long observation and research, we conclude that specific geometry between the planets, the Moon and the Sun, especially convergence involving both Mercury and Venus, generates significant electromagnetic currents, especially in the ultra low frequency (ULF) range, below 3Hz, which have an effect on the Solar System as a whole and also affect Earth, both its atmosphere and crust. Interaction of these ULF waves with Earth's atmosphere and crust excite electrons. If a fault section has reached its strain budget, i.e. is very near failure, this excitation can lead to destabilization on a molecular level and subsequent (large-scale) deformation due to extreme stress levels. The excitation process preceding failure may also explain "earthquake lightning" in the atmosphere, often observed before larger earthquakes. Atmospheric disturbance associated with larger earthquakes has been well studied and is referred to as ionosphere-lithosphere coupling. There is also evidence of electro-seismic phenomena preceding earthquakes.

Indication of atmospheric disturbance is also provided by the example from 23-24 June 2014 when three planetary conjunctions converged with Earth between Mars and Uranus and a series of six earthquakes ranging from magnitude 6.0 to 7.9 occurred in the south and north Pacific within 8 hours. See images above. On the same day a meteo-tsunami began to propagate through the Mediterranean. A scientifc report from 2015 concluded that the meteo-tsunami was the result of ‘high altitude atmospheric forcing’.

Because the electromagnetic force is stronger than and dominates the gravitational force and because electromagnetic waves greatly interact with matter and also between celestial bodies, the proposed mechanism is significant excitation of electrons in Earth's crust due to stronger ULF interactions in the Solar System, leading to destabilization on a molecular level and subsequent failure of rock formation under extreme tectonic stress.

Does this mechanism guarantee that specific geometry between the planets, the Moon and the Sun always results in a major earthquake? No. The great unknown variable are the tectonic stress levels in Earth's crust, which we also refer to as "the condition of Earth's crust". If no larger fault section has reached the tipping point, no major earthquake occurs. But there's almost always a seismic response in the form of temporal earthquake clustering (not to be confused with spatial or spatio clustering). Temporal clustering is the occurrence of stronger earthquakes, typically with magnitude ≥ 5.5, in various regions across the planet in a short time, like 24 or 36 hours.

This proposed mechanism does not exclude or replace Earth's own geological processes, such as the buildup of stress in Earth's crust due to the dynamics between tectonic plates. Buildup of stress is Earth's own geological process, but when a fault section is near failure, specific geometry between celestial bodies in the Solar System will trigger a stress release due to stronger ULF interaction.
