“…For an example of a gas-energy-release by volcano, the 1815 Tambora eruption blew out (among ash and other chemicals) about 52 × 10 6 t of sulfuric acid [26], whose synthesis from primary elements could produce energy equivalent to 96 megatons of TNT. The synthesis of 50 × 10 6 t of water from a hydrogen-oxygen mixture ("detonating gas") could produce the energy equiva- The main processes of mass-energy-transfer include the following: 1) Cold nuclear synthesis (fusion reactions), which are accompanied by generation and release of energy, where 3 He, 4 He, 3 H and earth neutrinos [27]- [33] dissociate "stable" compounds and catalyze new fission and fusion reactions.…”

“…Explosive substances are produced and accumulated due to the energy which is released in the earth's core, mantle, and lithosphere, by the five main sources listed below[1]:1) The cold nuclear synthesis (fusion reaction) is an important source of energy, and a source of additional flow of 3 H,3 He,4 He and earth neutrinos as shown by experiments of cold fusion on boundaries Fe-Ni and melt of aluminum silicates, iron and nickel compounds and oxides eutectics[27]-[33].2) The natural fission nuclear reactors with fast neutrons on the boundary of Earth's solid/liquid core, and possibly, liquid core/mantle[34] [35] [36]. Capacity of those reactors depends on the Sun-Axions flow-intensity[37].3) Tidal waves cause dissipation of energy and stimulate the physical-chemical processes in the Earth's core, mantle, lithosphere, and in the near-to-earth side of the Moon's interior [44].…”

This article presents a further development of the hypotheses concerning the possibility of predicting ("tectonic") earthquakes [1]. Those hypotheses are based on the conversion of all types of released energy into heat and active chemical substances. One of the important sources of this phenomenon is the release of the latent energy trapped and stored during the Earth's accretion. The latent energy of primordial hydrogen and helium escaping from the Earth's core and lower mantle causes degassing processes [2] [3]. This latent energy converts into totally different types of chemical, electromagnetic and thermal energies of active compounds that are responsible for the major endogenic terrestrial processes. The dominating theories in seismology and volcanology are that an earthquake results from a sudden slip of a tectonic fault and that only magma and the gases contained in magma supply the volcanic energy resulting in the conclusions that earthquakes and eruptions are unpredictable. Volcanic eruption is considered herein to be a special case of the earthquake-process in which earthquake hypocenters rise to the Earth's surface. A possible solution is proposed ([1] and herein) based on the analyses of the physicochemical processes as participants in earthquake and eruption preparations (foreshocks-major shock-aftershocks-volcanic eruptions) and on the characteristic rates of reflection of these processes on the Earth's surface. Influences of Sun-Moon-tides and volcanic ("harmonic") tremors are analyzed from physical-chemical point of view. The case of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and the proposed monitoring of the recommended additional data provides a way of selecting a complex of reliable earthquake and volcanic eruption precursors.

“…"Combustion" of most of the clusters during the earthquake process decreases their concentration and generates aftershocks, (which take part in the rising hypocenter) and cause the relaxation of the surrounding matter. Explosive substances are produced and accumulated due to the energy which is released in the Earth's core, mantle, and lithosphere, by five main sources: 1) Cold nuclear synthesis (fusion reactions), which are accompanied by a generation and release of energy, 3 He, 4 He, 3 H and Earth neutrinos [16]- [23].…”

It is already well known that the "when, where and how strong" earthquake prediction problem cannot be solved by only analyzing the database from former earthquakes. A possible solution to this problem is proposed herein based on the analysis of the physicochemical processes as participants in earthquake preparation and on the characteristic rate of reflection of these processes on the Earth's surface. The proposed procedure includes monitoring of correlation of electromagnetic fields variations with tidal waves. This solution provides a way of selecting a complex of reliable earthquake precursors using the Inverse Problem Method for earthquakes which will occur in the region around the monitoring point (radial distance ≈ 700 km) in the next seven-day period [1].

“…This paper presents supposition about the mechanism of heat energy transfer to the planet's surface which is hardly relevant. In his work [20], М. Fukuhara analyzes possible thermonuclear reactions yielding helium in the core and claims that heat generation results from threeparticle nuclear synthesis of deuterons. The authors of the cited and other, not less interesting, works do not propose physical models or present the results of numerical modeling.…”

“…Experimentally obtained value of the density of the heat flow moving from the Earth's depth to its surface [21] is ~ 5 ⋅ 10 -2 W/m 2 . According to different sources, the value of the full heat flow through the Earth's surface is estimated at (2.8…3.1) ⋅ 10 13 W [20,22] On the whole, the problem of the Earth's central regions heating has not been satisfactorily and finally solved yet. The possibility of simultaneous or subsequent impact of different heating processes cannot be excluded.…”

Purpose. Experimental research into the physical model of the Earth's core formation in the center of gas-dust spiral vortex and numerical assessment of the physical conditions associated with the development of thermonuclear reactions in the Earth's core. Methodology. Analysis of the main points of conventional conceptions, their principal merits and drawbacks which delineate their potential possibilities. Experimental studies implementing shock-wave treatment of porous materials in cylindrical containers. Numerical assessment of the physical conditions that initiate thermonuclear reactions in the Earth's core. findings. It is extremely important to choose the model of the Earth formation with originally "light" core for several reasons. First, it provides a physically grounded mechanism of the thermonuclear heat source formation; second, the process of the Earth transition to equilibrium state inevitably creates conditions for mechanical, physical and chemical activity of elements in geospheres. Numerical assessment was performed to estimate the main conditions which are necessary for thermonuclear heating of the Earth's central bulk-to determine the deuterium nuclei concentration and the respective temperatures. Originality. The authors suggested a model describing formation of the initially "light" core of the Earth. Experiments allowed studying some physical peculiarities of spiral vortices initiation and development. Regularities of change in plasma parameters, core temperature and thermonuclear energy release have been established in reference to the Earth's age. Practical value. The obtained results will be useful for studying such important planetary geological phenomena as matter differentiation and formation of spheres inside the planet, as well as heat flow distribution in its bulk.
