The purpose of this project was to study the formation of a tectonomagnetic precursor during the formation of a strike-slip fault zone. The magnetic variation was supposed to have been associated with the interaction of the deformation and geomagnetic fields. This study proved that the magnetic variation had been associated with the interaction of the geomagnetic and deformation fields. It is proved that this effect varies substantially with the orientation of the shear strip relative to the vector of the Earth magnetic field. This result can be used in the analysis of tectono-magnetic variations for the purpose of short-term earthquake predictions.
