The effects of geophysical and geochemical factors upon human behavior are not artifactual, but they are complex and often not detected by the limited scope of most studies.īaker, R.R., Goal orientation by blindfolded humans after long-distance displacements: possible involvement of a magnetic sense. Many of the contemporary correlations between geological factors and human behavior are also apparent within historical data. Transient and very local epidemics of bizarre and unusual behaviors are sociological phenomena that sometimes precede increases in earthquake activity within a region they have been hypothesized to be associated with tectonic strain. The effects are usually brief but pervasive. Geomagnetic variations have been correlated with enhanced anxiety, sleep disturbances, altered moods, and greater incidences of psychiatric admissions. These common elements are found in many soils and ground water. In the geochemical domain, copper, aluminum, zinc, and lithium may influence the incidence of thought disorders such as schizophrenia and senile dementia. They are geochemical profiles, geomagnetic variations, and tectonic stresses. Temporal and regional variations in psychological processes have been associated with three geological factors.
