Currently, the most popular among these is the TK03 model (Tauxe and Kent, 2004). As other statistical models, TK03 numerically characterizes the amplitude of secular geomagnetic variation and the shape of the distribution of paleomagnetic directions which are considered as directly reflecting the directions of the geomagnetic field on the considered interval of geological time. For this purpose, three main parameters are used: the scatter Sb (or S) of the virtual geomagnetic poles, the elongation E of the distribution of paleomagnetic directions, and the direction of elongation of the distribution of paleomagnetic directions. The correct application of these parameters to describe ancient secular variation requires the satisfaction of certain, sometimes rather strict conditions. These conditions for the Sb and E parameters were considered in a number of previous publications, while the limits and conditions of application of parameter have not been studied in detail so far. This paper presents the results of mathematical modeling that allow us to evaluate the stability of the calculated values of this parameter as a function of the latitude of sampling, the number of samples used for its determination, the length of the time series on which this parameter is determined, as well as inclination shallowing and the degree of averaging when is estimated in sedimentary rocks. We also consider the extent to which the parameter can be sensitive to the presence and characteristics of the equatorial dipole component in the total geomagnetic field.","PeriodicalId":134429,"journal":{"name":"Физика Земли","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141104709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In some cases, these anomalies have even been accompanied by a change in the sign of the field under fair weather conditions. Possible causes of this phenomenon are typically attributed to anomalous changes in electrical conductivity in the surface air and increased radon emission from the soil. This paper proposes another mechanism of atmospheric electrical anomalies that involves the entrainment of charged aerosols and light and heavy ions by air flows. Such flows can be produced by small temperature anomalies observed before some seismic events. Theoretical analysis shows that anomalously strong electrical variations may occur even in the presence weak air flows provided that they persist for a long time and there is a specific structure of the velocity field with vertical air circulation and particle exchange between different atmospheric layers. For this type of flows, an analytical solution is derived and spatial distributions of atmospheric electric perturbations are obtained. The results of calculations and estimates confirm that the proposed mechanism can explain the observational data.","PeriodicalId":134429,"journal":{"name":"Физика Земли","volume":"21 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141104922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new unified derivation is presented of the Timoshenko equations for 2D bending of beams and the Reissner equations for bending of slabs by direct transformation of the general elasticity equations with a simple approximate replacement of power cubic functions with effective linear ones. This derivation offers a simpler and more detailed understanding of the difference between the equations and the meaning of the simplifications made in these theories.

The presented results of numerical modeling allow us to relate perturbations created by a large-scale underground source in the Earth surface magnetic field and in the electric field in the ionosphere.

This data set allowed to estimate correctness of the block kinematics of the Eurasian plate in three tectonic plate motion models: NUVEL-1A, NNR-MORVEL-56, and ITRF2014.

In the MLKR, ignoring the equilibrium conditions, the authors assign a studied block (macrovolume x) a certain symmetric tensor T which they call without explanation a stress tensor and which is, in their opinion, the only cause of the observed slips. In the MLKR, the principal axes and the ratio of the differences of the principal values of tensor T (the so-called reduced tensor TR) are reconstructed locally, without taking into account the interaction of x with the contacting blocks, i.e., in such a manner as if macrovolume x were isolated. Tensor TR is determined based on the analysis of N events (N ≥ 4) that occurred in x over the time span Δt using only the data on the slip directions and on the orientation of the slickensided planes. This approach ignores the rate of change of the stresses, previous deformation history, and mechanical properties of the block, as well as the ratio of Δt to the stress relaxation time in the block. \u0000In this review, the key ideas of MLKR are discussed and it is shown that the underlying concept of this method is fundamentally fallacious and can lead to results that are arbitrarily inconsistent with reality since under a change in the ignored factors, tensor TR can become almost arbitrary with the same set of slips. According to the mechanics of deformable solids (MDS), uniform stresses in a quasi-statically deformed macrovolume x are genetically related to the self-equilibrated surface forces acting on x and are completely independent of deformations. In contrast, the “stresses” in MLKR are genetically caused by strains and not related to surface forces. As a result, MLKR misses the possibility to balance x, i.e., to satisfy the inviolable conservation laws of momentum and angular momentum. Besides, the TR object that is reconstructed in MLKR is not objective: frame indifferent. In the attempts to achieve the desired objective, followers of the MLKR have to implicitly return to the representations that have been rejected as early as in Cauchy’s works: they do not separate the universal laws of dynamics from the mechanical properties of a particular medium. Specifically, they postulate some a priori subjective interrelations between the elements of the sought tensor TR and the slip directions, thus formulating the constitutive relations of the medium which differ from author-to-author but are attributed a meaning of the universal laws. The information about TR in the MLKR is derived from these relations rather than from the laws of mechanics. Due to this, the notions of stresses and constitutive laws in the MLKR fundamentally differ from the respecti","PeriodicalId":134429,"journal":{"name":"Физика Земли","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130860518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
