Comments: 24 Pages. English version of the paper: Sergey G. Fedosin, A.S. Kim, The Physical Theory of Ball Lightning, Applied physics (Russian Journal), No. 1, 2001, P. 69 – 87.
The analysis of modern models of ball lightning displays, that they are unsatisfactory on a series of tests. The model of ball lightning is offered, which exterior electronic envelope is retained by interior volumetric positive charge. The compounded electron motion in an outer envelope creates the strong magnetic field driving a state of ionized hot air inside ball lightning. The conditions of origin surveyed, the estimates of parameters of ball lightnings of different power are made.

An assessment was done of the gravity data collected at the Mohe Observation Center in China during the March 9, 1997 total solar eclipse. After a search for the original tabulated measured data proved unsuccessful, the data was reconstituted by extracting values from a graph of the data found in a report. The reconstituted measured gravity values were processed by removing an approximation of what the gravity would have been had no eclipse occurred, leaving values of the gravity caused by the eclipse. These values were plotted and analyzed. The plot shows that, contrary to previous claims, there does not appear to be any anomalies in the data. The graph also suggests that the gravimeter collecting the data sensed the eclipse about eight minutes before it was visually noticeable. Based on the gravity profile of the eclipse, it appears to have behaved as expected.

Exactly 100 years ago, German scientist -- Alfred Lothar Wegener, sailed against the prevailing wisdom of his day when he posited that not only have the Earth's continental plates receded from each other over the course of the Earth's history, but that they are currently in a state of motion relative to one another. To explain this, Wegener setforth the hypothesis that the Earth must be expanding as a whole. Wegener's inability to provide an adequate explanation of the forces and energy source responsible for continental drift and the prevailing belief that the Earth was a rigid solid body resulted in the acrimonious dismissal of his theories. Today, that the continents are receding from each other is no longer a point of debate but a sacrosanct pillar of modern geology and geophysics. What is debatable is the energy source driving this phenomenon. An expanding Earth hypothesis is currently an idea that is not accepted on a general consensus level. Anti-proponent of the expanding Earth mercilessly dismiss it as a pseudo or fringe science. Be that it may, we show herein that from the well accepted law of conversation of spin angular momentum, Stephenson9 and Morrison (1995)'s result that over the last 2700 years or so, the length of the Earth's day has undergone a change of about +17.00 microsecond/yr, this result invariably leads to the fact the Earth must be expanding radially at a paltry rate of about +0.60mm/yr. This simple fact, automatically move the expanding Earth hypothesis from the realm of pseudo or fringe science, to that of real and ponderable science.

This study belongs to comparative planetology and geodynamics. It prolongates "Geological flows" (arXiv:0811.3136v1) and "Flow dynamics of the Moon" (arXiv:1004.0450v1). Acquaintance with the above-mentioned papers is strongly recommended. Recall that geology and planetology are growed here over new conceptual basis. The new basis is high-speed fluid dynamics ant its similarity to superslow flows of solid planet surfaces. Caspian Seas, Mississippis, and Tycho Craters are new interesting objects of studying in this advanced comparative planetology. Highly unobvious relations between such flows are represented.

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is currently the most important facility used to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation in the ionosphere. In order to produce this ELF radiation the HAARP transmitter radiates a strong beam of high-frequency (HF) waves modulated at ELF. This HF heating modulates the electrons’ temperature in the D region ionosphere and leads to modulated conductivity and a time-varying current which then radiates at the modulation frequency. Recently, the HAARP HF transmitter operated with 3.6GW of effective radiated power modulated at frequency of 2.5Hz. It is shown that high-power ELF radiation generated by HF ionospheric heaters, such as the current HAARP heater, can cause Earthquakes, Cyclones and strong localized heating.

Ancient descriptions of beginning of the Earth and the global deluge are relevant to
the Earth history. Beginning of the Earth or beginning of the time appears to be the
beginning of the Supercontinent cycle on the surface of the Earth around 2800 million
years ago. Since then, six Supercontinent cycles were completed on the surface of the
Earth and the present is the seventh cycle. Global deluge appears to be the
description of the rise in sea level occurred with the breakup of each Supercontinent.
Therefore global deluge occurs in the beginning of every Supercontinent cycle.
Descriptions of the Manvantara cycles, seven Earths and seven Karshvars are similar
to the Supercontinent cycles.

Cause of the Earth's surface manifestations appears to be external to the Earth.
Gravitational attraction of the galactic center causes the tides to form in the
mantle of the Earth when the solar system reaches the nearest position to the
galactic center. Pair of troughs takes shape in the mantle adjacent to the tides
as the low and high tides in the ocean. Upwelling tides or megablobs breaks the
continental crust and disperses the plates towards the troughs on the surface.
In the subsequent cycle, when the solar system again reaches the nearest position
to the galactic center, megablobs interchange with the troughs and reassemble
the continental crust. In other words, two galactic cycles of the solar system
makes one Supercontinent cycle on the surface of the Earth. It appears that the
Supercontinent cycle started on the Earth around 2800 million years ago.
Nucleation of the inner core was initiated in this period with the beginning of
the Plate tectonics. Supercontinent cycle continues as long as the solar system
revolves around the galactic center in the presence of liquid outer core in the
interior and water on the surface of the Earth.

Life on Earth reels under the Supercontinent cycles. Every Supercontinent forms
with the collision and merger of all the plates causing a "tectonic pause".
Reduced seafloor spreading and albedo advances the ice sheets towards the equator.
Massive ice sheets cover the ocean and whole or part of the Supercontinent causing
a global ice age or snowball Earth event. Base of the continents further sinks
into the mantle with the increased weight of the ice sheets. Increased pressure
within the mantle forms as a superplume under the Supercontinent and eventually
breaks the Supercontinental crust giving the new plates. Superplume with the
increased seafloor spreading and the albedo causes a severe global warming and
rapidly melts the ice sheets, exiting the global ice age. Rapid melting of the
ice sheets floods the lowered continental regions. Isostacy gradually uplifts
the submerged continental crust above the sea level. Each break in the crust
causes a global warming and merger of plates causes an ice age. Mass extinctions
occur in the ice age and global warming periods. Evolution takes place in the
post global warming period. Ice ages and global warming forms the distinct
boundaries in the sedimentary layers.

In this paper three separate charges are distinguished for the Earth and its magnetosphere. First,
it is assumed, that the Earth and its nearest atmosphere bear a net negative charge
QE. Secondly, a positive charge Qi and a negative charge
Qo are proposed for the inner and outer Van Allen belt, respectively. Thirdly,
a belt with net zero charge (electron slot) will be assumed to be present between both charged
belts. According to the three tori model, recently developed for pulsars and black holes,
equilibrium may exist between the charges QE, Qi and
Qo. Three expressions for the Coulomb electric field at different distances
from Earth's centre are derived from the same model. Using available data, values for the three
charges are deduced for the solar minimum and maximum, respectively. An averaged charge
QE of about −1 C is extracted for the Earth. Some other features of
the model are discussed, among them the flow of charge during the change from solar minimum
to maximum. Furthermore, it is shown that the magnitude of Earth's magnetic field cannot be
explained by the motion of the charges QE, Qi and
Qo. In order to obtain a better explanation, the so-called Wilson-Blackett
law is discussed. In addition, a large toroidal electric current in the Earth is proposed

Using the temporal triplet distribution with certain periodicity to fit the real temporal distribution of great earthquakes (EQs) (M≥8) in North China and in West America respectively, we found the fitness is rather good. It is therefore possible to use the fitness as reference for the prediction of future great EQs (M≥8) in these two regions. The temporal triplet distribution refers to the temporal series consisting of the periodicity, the multiplied periodicity and the golden section of such periodicities.
Key words: North China, West America, great earthquakes (M≥8), temporal regularity.
