Abstract— The correlation between lithospheric earthquakes on the American continent and tropical cyclones that arose after the French nuclear tests is considered. The transfer of the local impact of TC on the lithospheric plates of the other hemisphere is proposed to be assessed by the effect of "Fantom" TC symmetric with respect to the center of the Earth. It is shown that the localization of earthquakes shifts in accordance with the movement of the "Fantom" TC and its intensity. This indicates that TCs are a trigger for earthquakes in the most intense seismic areas.
