Abstract

This paper presents the results of studying the precursor cyclic stress-strain state of the lithosphere during the preparation of significant seismic events using the automated lineament analysis of multitemporal space images. The proposed method has been tested by the example of a number of strong and devastating earthquakes over the past decade in different parts of the world. The identified precursor cyclical dynamics of lineament systems has a period of 1 to 3 months and makes it possible to predict the time, place, and possible magnitude of earthquakes.
