Abstract
Triggering and synchronization are the two faces of the same coin; both effects imply that the additional forcing causing triggering and synchronization is much smaller than the main driving force, which means that these phenomena are connected with nonlinear interactions of objects, namely, with initiation of instability in systems that are close to the critical state. In a seismic process, the main driving component is the tectonic stress; earthquakes are considered as dynamic instabilities generated in the process of friction (stick-slip) between faces of geological faults (Brace and Byerlee, 1966; Kanamori and Brodsky, 2004; Ben-Zion, 2008). The additional forcing is exerted by various external impacts: tides, reservoir exploitation, big explosions, magnetic storms, etc.
