Abstract

Summary

Earthquakes are a source of vibration of the Earth that cause high-frequency variations (normal modes) of the geophysical fields such as Earth's gravity field and magnetic field. 0S2 is called the football mode as the deformed shape alternates between that of an American football and a pumpkin. For the spheroidal normal mode 0S2, we have five singlets. We investigate splitting of the fundamental spheroidal mode 0S2 based on analysis of geomagnetic variations during periods of strong earthquakes. In periods of 15 days after major earthquakes, in the absence of strong magnetic disturbances, it is possible to distinguish the fine structure of the basic spheroidal mode of the earth 0S2 in the geomagnetic variations. The estimated singlet frequencies of 0S2 are good agreement with theoretical ones computed for the Earth model 1066A. This indicates that the Earth's magnetic field is very sensitive to mechanical processes occurring in the Earth. Moreover, the received data confirm the fact that the Earth, for all the complexity of its structure, and the presence of geospheres that are very different in their properties, represents a single geophysical system consisting of constantly interacting geospheres and geophysical fields.
