The electron and muon components of extensive air shower (EAS) with energies above 101 eV are analyzed via various giant EAS arrays. A varying property of showers is observed for two energy ranges; higher and lower than (3 - 4) X [10.sup.19] eV. The age parameter, zenith angle, shower size dependenc...
