This paper proposes and mathematically estimates a novel speculative hypothesis: that geo-neutrinos produced by radioactive decay within the Earth's crust and mantle may interact with isotopically dense mineral formations along fault lines, transducing a fraction of their energy into localised mechanical strain through Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) — a mechanism experimentally confirmed in 2017. Critically, we propose that this process may be self-amplifying: fault displacement enhances radioactive decay exposure, producing more geo-neutrinos, which deposit further strain energy into adjacent mineral matrices in a positive feedback loop. We introduce the term neutrino transduction to describe this class of geophysical energy conversion, and argue that crystalline strain storage in low-defect piezoelectric mineral phases can exceed anelastic relaxation rates over geological timescales, permitting net energy accumulation. Order-of-magnitude mathematical estimates are provided and compared against known seismic energy thresholds. Consistency with documented pre-seismic electromagnetic anomalies and cosmic ray–seismicity correlations is discussed. Five falsifiable empirical predictions are specified. This is a hypothesis paper; no original experimental data are presented.
