Tectonics, Earthquakes and Paleogeography

Everyone knows why the earthquakes happen and that they occur in their respective places periodically. But even the seismologists don't know very well its mechanisms. The only ones related among themselves earthquakes that the geophysical mainstream recognizes as such (unlike what the common people very often imagine) are the aftershocks ¿ a series of shocks which generally begins with the strongest. In this book the reader will know a different vision regarding the earthquakes successions. Based on a rigorous formal reasoning providing from the Mathematical Statistics and the Elementary Catastrophes Theory, the author shows that the observed locally periodicity always is part of certain closed (for now hidden) cycles of earthquake successions, which encompass one by one the epicentres of the respective tectonic plate. Unfortunately, there are not historical records long enough to compare our theory with the reality, but also it is known that the tectonic theory waited half a century for to be accepted during the last century's sixties, which did not prevent to take advantage of this and little by little going forward.
