Relationship between variations in the rotation velocity of the Earth and its seismic activity

Abstract

It is shown that, for the low-frequency component of the time series in the angular velocity of the Earth’s rotation, the maximums of seismic activity correspond to the final stages of decrease in the angular velocity of rotation (deceleration) and the local minimums coincide with maximums of seismic activity. The minimums of seismic activity correspond to the stages of increase in the angular velocity (acceleration).
