Abstract
In the magazine [1] an article by A.L. Buchachenko was published, devoted to solving the problem of earthquakes forecasting and preventing in the light of magnetoplasticity phenomenon. According to the author's hypothesis, magnetoplasticity is a possible source of earthquakes, and through this physical phenomenon it is possible to control the course of shocks, weakening their energy to an acceptable level, thereby preventing catastrophic destruction of settlements. In the article reviewed, the magnetoplasticity phenomenon idea originality with reference to the rock mass is noted and at the same time an analysis of this idea weak points is given, resulting from the author following the erroneous hypothesis of geophysicists and seismologists old school. Researchers of the old school believe that earthquakes’ deformation energy gradually, over a long period of time, measured by years and centuries, accumulates in the rock massif in the course of its deformation caused by the Earth plates (blocks) movement with subsequent emission of a colossal amount of energy in a short period of time, seconds and minutes. In addition, explaining the essence of the rock massif catastrophic destruction due to the magnetoplasticity phenomenon, the author does not give a convincing source of the magnetic field origin that is necessary for this phenomenon generation, which, in fact, transfers the magnetoplasticity from the alleged source of earthquakes into one of its possible consequences, which agrees very well with the mine rocks deformation explosion hypothesis [2, 5].
