Correlative analysis for each of the particle bursts and seismic events was identified in the
experiment. It considered the coincidence of L-coordinates of genetically linked particle bursts
and earthquakes with a time shift of 1-5 hours in-between, identified 8 particle bursts that
were potential candidates for harbingers of earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 4 on
the Richter scale.
It was discovered that along with particle bursts observed at various longitudes of perturbed L-
shells, there are particle bursts grouped along tectonic fault lines; that is, right in the zones of
local perturbations of the Earth's radiation belt. The correlative analysis performed on the
spatial and temporal characteristics of recorded particle bursts and on the data for seismic
events showed in sufficient statistics that approximately 15% of particle bursts may be seismic
in nature. They are localized in the L-shells of earthquakes and precede earthquakes with a
magnitude greater than 4 by several hours.
