Abstract

This article investigates the properties of small-scale fluctuations of the probability density for measurements of the X, Y, and Z-components of the Earth’s magnetic field that were carried out both in a seismically active region and in an area with a complete absence of seismic activity. In the first case, a much greater intensity of the occurrence of statistical phenomena considered as earthquake precursors was revealed. At an interval of several days before the earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 in Metsavan (Armenia), whose epicenter was located near the magnetic variation station in a seismically active region, a sharp increase in the frequency of these phenomena was found. This effect was absent in the seismically quiet region.
