Description:
Earthquakes are the most energetic phenomena in the lithosphere: their study
and comprehension are greatly worth doing because of the obvious importance for society.
Geosystemics intends to study the Earth system as a whole, looking at the possible couplings among
the different geo-layers, i.e., from the earth’s interior to the above atmosphere. It uses specific universal
tools to integrate different methods that can be applied to multi-parameter data, often taken on different
platforms (e.g., ground,marine or satellite observations). Itsmain objective is to understand the particular
phenomenon of interest from a holistic point of view. Central is the use of entropy, together with other
physical quantities that will be introduced case by case. In this paper, we will deal with earthquakes,
as final part of a long-term chain of processes involving, not only the interaction between different
components of the Earth’s interior but also the coupling of the solid earth with the above neutral
or ionized atmosphere, and finally culminating with the main rupture along the fault of concern.
Particular emphasis will be given to some Italian seismic sequences.
