A novel theory applying the Compton effect to the electrodynamics of the ionosphere shows that intraplate earthquakes giving electrical precursors are electrostatic explosions induced by negative anomalies of the ionosphere. The electric field of the atmosphere, reversed by several millions of volts per km, which results therefrom, and which moreover gives large storm clouds, is a natural particle accelerator for the positive ions coming from the conducting mantle. The earthquake is thus a lightning stroke starting in the deep layers of the Earth. The present invention proposes detection of the open faults at depths such that they allow the rise of the positive ions from the mantle, which are highly electropositive, several weeks before the earthquake. It also proposes measurement of the strong inversions of the electric field of the air, which should make it possible to predict earthquakes to within a few hours. The destructive power of the earthquakes should be reduced if the accumulation of electric charges in the buildings is prevented by resting the foundations on insulating materials such as glass, rubber or PVC, and by covering the roofs with metal tiles forming a Faraday cage. Furthermore, by surrounding a sensitive site by captive balloons which electrically connect the upper layers of the atmosphere to the earth, it may be hoped to reduce and regulate the earth/ionosphere current points.
