Anomalous changes in VLF amplitudes and phases observed on propagation paths crossing either nuclear power station areas with an increased level of radiation or seismoactive regions at times preceding an earthquake have been analyzed. A comparison of the data related to these different situations gives grounds to suggest a physical cause which is common to both cases, namely the increased conductivity of the lower atmosphere. A lithosphere-ionosphere interaction model is put forward, involving atmospheric vertical conduction electric currents, the variations of which can change the electric potential of the lower ionosphere. The ionospheric parameter variations have been estimated, compared with the gathered data, and both quantitative and qualitative agreement found.
