چکیده
Many studies have shown that during earthquakes (EQs), the fracturing of piezoelectric rocks like granite causes atomic/ nuclear particles' radiation into the Earth’s crust. With the help of an MCNPX simulation code, we have already studied the amount and energies of created atomic/ nuclear particles and the possible interactions for under-stressed piezoelectric blocks. In this research, applying the PACE4 code, we aim to simulate the interactions between the created neutrons from under-stressed piezoelectric rocks and the elements of granite plus the elements of fractures’ filling fluids like water, air, methane, and CO2, to study the mechanism of such reactions and find which new elements might be produced. The results indicate that compound nuclear reactions like fusion/ fission/ inelastic scattering can happen, resulting in the release of energy from the depths of the Earth in the aseismic regions. Furthermore, compound nuclear interactions from the piezoelectric effect can generate carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), and Nitrogen (N) in the granitic rock texture or inside the fracture-filling fluids and triggering the life chain resulting in the generation of CO2 gas and hydrocarbons like oil/ gas. In this process, some new elements like Al, Mg, etc., might also be produced in the texture of granitic rocks.
