Abstract
In order to investigate the fundamental processes of radon anomaly related to earthquakes, the measurement of the emission of radon and/or thoron from a rock under pressure has been carried out. The thoron emission increases after the crush of a rock. Before the crush, however, its increase is scarcely observed during compression. The emission of thoron varies under the gradual compression of the lumps of fractured rocks and diminishes to zero when they are compressed entirely. It is suggested from these facts that the precursory anomaly of radon related to earthquakes occurs in the fractured rock region such as faults.
