Pak, ini ada penjelasan lebih spesifik ttg "cahaya gempa" atau EQL (earthquake lights)
saya kutip dari paper berjudul "Earthquake lights and the stress-activation of positive hole charge carriers in rocks by France St-Laurent , John S. Derr , Friedemann T. Freund" >> nuhun pak Franc atas kiriman papernya. ================================== On the basis of the foregoing discussion we propose that the luminous phenomena associated with earthquakes, often called earthquake lights, EQL, are caused by electric discharges. The source of these discharges lies in the Earth's crust, in confined rock volumes that represent asperities and build up high and rapidly increasing stresses as part of the earthquake preparation process. Such stresses activate electronic charge carriers that lie dormant in the rocks. These charge carriers are p-holes and electrons, of which the p-holes have the unique property that they can propagate through otherwise insulating rocks. If the rate at which the p-holes and electrons are activated exceeds the rate at which they can be dissipated, a situation may arise where the p-holes form a degenerate solid state plasma that can burst out of its confined rock volume and propagate at relatively high speed through the overlying rocks. When this charge cloud intersects the Earth's surface, it causes ionization of the air and, hence, corona discharges, which are accompanied by the emission of light. The many different forms and shapes of EQLs that have been reported suggest that the conditions of the solid state plasma and its discharge through the Earth's surface can be highly variable. Our conclusions seem to be consistent with not only the observed luminous phenomena but also with the reported emission of radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation and other effects. ===================== sedangkan dentuman itu sendiri, bukannya sudah dijelaskan di milis ini satu bulan yang lalu ketika pak Irwan menerangkan ttg suara misterius dari imogiri, berikut kutipannya: On 6/30/06, Irwan Meilano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: High-frek P-wave apabila sangat dangkal akan menghasilkan suara yg bisa kita dengar lansung (kalo dilaut disebut juga T-wave (acoustic wave)). Sesudah high-frek P-wave yg amplitude-nya sangat kecil, baru low-fre P-nyadatang dan terasa goyangan..dan sesudah itu baru S-wave yg lebih bergetar. -------- saya tambahin dengan kutipan berikut: P wave [the primary wave, which people usually feel as a bang or thump] would be pretty distinct. ... There would probably be a few seconds of somewhat random shaking before it really got going. ... It's pretty common to have a little bit of time between when you first feel things going and the very severe shaking. That's a real critical period because, in this case, this is an earthquake where there's no question you should take cover." jadi, semuanya bisa dijelaskan secara ilmiah, tidak ada misteri atau ledakan bom nuklir seperti yang digosipkan orang2 awam.(tadi pagi denger di elshinta ada lho yg tanya ttg kemungkinan adanya ujicoba nuklir yg menyebabkan terjadinya gempa pangandaran) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rovicky Dwi Putrohari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <iagi-net@iagi.or.id>; "Himpunan Ahli Geofisika Indonesia HAGI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "migas indonesia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <pedulibencana@yahoogroups.com>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 5:43 PM Subject: [iagi-net-l] Itu Aurora Bukan Api ! ...
