Description
One of the most efficient methods of great earthquakes prediction is the one based on measurements of the earth surfaces inclination. The efficiency of this method consists in the direct connection between inclination an focal mechanisms occurring previously a to the main shock. Tectonic plates subduction produces rocks deformation which generates very small inclination of the earth surface. (authors)
