Peroxy-Defect Theory of Earthquake Lights

The theory, proposed by physicist Friedemann Freund, that certain rock types such as basalt and gabbro contain peroxy defects that release mobile electric charge under mechanical stress, producing a visible light discharge at the surface; the leading peer-reviewed explanation for earthquake lights.
