Pollution and earthquakes

Scientific American has reported: “some tremors may be aftershocks of bigger earthquakes that occurred hundreds of years ago, researchers say”. Big conflicts and wars as well might influence us and present conflicts might be troublesome in future. Pollution control is a duty and needs good intentions. There are some earthquakes that might be caused by some waste water produced by some units of an industrial city. Or intake of chemical fertilizers in rivers or underground water and even transfer of these solutions to higher lands by capillarity of the soil that might be a volcanic land. The accumulation of the chemicals in some point might change the behavior of the soil and ends by an earthquake. They might be weak for moment but in long term might become dangerous. For example the waste material made by nanotechnology in the nature might produce an impermeable layer and hurting in different aspects unless, for example, we collect them and burn them as recycling. We have to recycle what might endanger us and do not let them go to some wells or running water without refining. Or leave them in nature without special attention. It is not a fault, but might affect the faults.
Greek South Mid- West Earthquake

I received an alert from EMSC about earthquake of south mid-west of Greece of magnitude 5.9. I believe many countries have developed several systems to monitor earthquakes like Tomography offered by some Greek institute. When you empty the air from a balloon there is no more pressure inside it. It is the same for earthquakes. We have a silence and calm before a storm and then storm. We have some quiet days before an earthquake and after release of the energy again the calm. One of the sources of activity is the same as the sun activity usually happening in mid-latitude (from Greece to Sichuan-Gansu China). Some others are hot spots. The magnitude depends on permeability of the layers magma comes up through. Another aspect is the geology of the region: “the geology of the Mediterranean involves the break up and the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates”( from internet). There is a fractal aspect in earthquakes. The last earthquake in south mid-west of Greece is on a curve like a hearth passing from Hindu-Kush area. Again the shape of the earthquakes of last week in Greek area is like a hearth. Only the north east of Greek area is empty from earthquakes. Why? You saw certainly in movies comedy or action, some one pull a narrow carpet from under the foot of another and causes to make him fall. As we had broken up in Mediterranean basin, some part has fallen down to north east. It caused the Greek area become unbalanced in the south and becomes a plateau. The weight of this fallen part covered the region and pushed down the magma, why this region is colder than southern part and magma has more trouble to come up. But it comes up easier in the south as it was pushed in the north east of the region. The solution to Greek earthquakes is to drill wells or a well deep in the south of Istanbul region and control the heat of this well and even produce carefully electricity if necessary. I think I won’t write on EMSC alert unless really necessary.
South East Tehran weak earthquakes

The recent South Eastern Tehran earthquakes around Garmsar road show us that by the end of summer and beginning of cold weather the magma activities are in their beginning and the end in our region. But, there is a small mountain in that area. We have Tehran Cement factory and his mine there, and this mountain could become a danger. This mountain is located on a very low slope toward Tehran and had already some slide in the past. Therefore, it is necessary to dig some wells in the east margin of this mountain and fill inside them with an armed concrete. This will prevent the slide of this mountain. It is possible to dig some other wells to exhaust the heat. It is necessary to take care and handle the case carefully. This case could be applied to other regions as well.
