Summary The scale independent inclusion theory of rock failure developed in Part I is applied to the problem of crustal earthquakes and, in particular, to the problem of premonitory phenomena reported to precede such earthquakes. Several well-known premonitory effects such as anomalous variation in the ratio of longitudinal (V p ) and shear (V s ) seismic velocities,V p /V s , tilt, regional and local crustal movements and stress axis rotation, to mention a few, are shown to be a natural consequence of the physical processes leading to failure in dry rock. The effects of fluids on failure in the focal region of a potential earthquake are considered in terms of the scale independent inclusion theory.
