Earthquake triggering of mud volcanoes
Mud volcanoes sometimes erupt within days after nearby earthquakes. The number of such nearly coincident events is larger than would be expected by chance and the eruptions are thus assumed to be triggered by earthquakes. Here we compile observations of the response of mud volcanoes and other geologic systems (earthquakes, volcanoes, liquefaction, ground water, and geysers) to earthquakes. The ...
متن کاملThe 1992 Landers Earthquake Sequence: Earthquake Occurrence and Structural Heterogeneities
The June 28, 1992, Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake occurred in the southeastern Mojave Desert, California. Over 10,000 aftershocks of the earthquake were recorded by the Caltech-USGS Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) in 1992. To investigate the relationship between complexities in the crustal structure and variations in seismicity, we have used a tomographic method to invert 145,098 P wave a...
متن کاملA hypothesis for delayed dynamic earthquake triggering
[1] It’s uncertain whether more near-field earthquakes are triggered by static or dynamic stress changes. This ratio matters because static earthquake interactions are increasingly incorporated into probabilistic forecasts. Recent studies were unable to demonstrate all predictions from the static-stress-change hypothesis, particularly seismicity rate reductions. However, current dynamic stress ...
متن کاملGlobal ubiquity of dynamic earthquake triggering
Earthquakes can be triggered by local changes in the stress field (static triggering) due to nearby earthquakes or by stresses caused by the passage of surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves from a remote, large earthquake (dynamic triggering). However, the mechanism, frequency, controlling factors and the global extent of dynamic triggering are yet to be fully understood. Because Rayleigh waves inv...
متن کاملPotential for earthquake triggering from transient deformations
[1] We report on laboratory experiments in which stick-slipping shear surfaces are subject to transient stressing to simulate earthquake triggering by seismic waves. Granular layers and bare granite surfaces were sheared in a servo-controlled deformation apparatus in double-direct shear. The seismic waves from an earthquake and tectonic load were simulated by superimposing a loading rate sinuso...
