Abstract

A comparative analysis of various model representations of seismogenic quasi-stationary electric fields/currents from large-scale sources on the Earth’s surface was carried out. It has been established that previously proposed analytical models of seismogenic quasi-stationary sources of electric field/current with field/current amplitudes continuously decreasing to zero at infinity are consistent with extreme values of electric field/current experimentally observed in epicentral zones before earthquakes. It is also shown that sharply spatially limited models of seismogenic sources of quasi-stationary electric fields/currents in the epicentral zones of future earthquakes on the Earth’s surface lead to their values being an order of magnitude or more greater than those actually observed.
