This thread has been largely intended to discuss a GIF file which I am preparing which compares earthquake triggering times with things such as Earth acceleration in space. What is being discussed in this present short report has I believe been discussed in one way or another by other researchers over the years. I am mentioning it here simply because I am seeing things which presently suggest to me that this phenomenon might be appearing in some of the data which I myself am evaluating. People can discuss this topic if they wish. However I myself cannot debate it at the present time as my own data are not yet on display.

Earthquake triggering research often focuses on the earthquake occurrence time itself. But my interpretation of the studies which I am doing on my warning signal data along with the earthquake data suggest to me that in some cases a crucially important event may be taking place in fault zones some variable period of time such as several days before the earthquake. That event is at times accompanied by sharp, strong electromagnetic energy field fluctuations. And those signals might be indicating that the fault zone has now entered a state where its structure has begun to disintegrate. It is becoming weaker and unstable. And with a little additional strain it finally fractures resulting in an earthquake.
