In a number of previously published papers by D. Sirota and V. Ivanov, it is theoretically and experimentally shown that the electrical measurements on the earth's surface can determine the approximate size and depth of the hearth of a man-made earthquake and a rock bursts in coal seams at depths of the hearth to several hundred meters. To predict the energy of the upcoming seismic event and determine the location of the event, it is necessary to determine the size, shape and orientation of the hearth.
