Title:		Earthquake Lightning
Author(s):		Finkelstein, D.; Powell, J.

Abstract:		In some parts of the world, earthquakes are often accompanied by ball lightning, stroke lightning and sheet lightning. The only causal connection that seems possible is that the seismic strains of the earthquake somehow cause an electric field in the air, which in turn produces ball lightning and stroke and sheet lightning. What is the mechanism of this "seismo-electric effect"?
