On the scale of atoms, heat is represented by the orbit the electron is in. 10-30km down there is a lot of heat and pressure. When a region is affected enough this energy has to go somewhere. If this area is already on a fault line then there will be some natural tendencies for the energy to be released through this fault.
TV and radio stations have strict regulations about access to the antennas because of the danger being so so close to the source of their signals where the EM strength is higher. There have been military experiments involving high level of electromagnetic radiation and you do get a flaming torch, just think of a big microwave. The Montauk project has some examples of this, there are others. While the strength of the signal going into the ground may not be very high, it is in the consistent application over days that builds up the energy.

Your first link discusses magnetic signals generated by the seismic event, not preceding it. They propose that the fields are produced by electric currents in the rocks generated when quartz deposits are crushed. The miniscule magnetic fields produced were detected using an extremely sensitive instrument, and are much less than the natural background magnetism of the Earth.
Your second link discusses natural magnetic field changes caused by the auroral electrojet and by lightning discharge. Also quite small, but not as small as the earthquake induced fields.

This is not filled with air but rather more like a vacuum in space
