Magma plumbing system and seismicity of an active mid-ocean ridge volcano
At mid-ocean ridges volcanism generally decreases with spreading rate but surprisingly massive volcanic centres occur at the slowest spreading ridges. These volcanoes can host unexpectedly strong earthquakes and vigorous, explosive submarine eruptions. Our understanding of the geodynamic processes forming these volcanic centres is still incomplete due to a lack of geophysical data and the diffi...
متن کاملSelf-organization of earthquake swarms
The temporal clustering of swarm activity di ers signi cantly from characteristics of aftershock sequences accompanying mainshocks. This is often assumed to be caused by crustal structure complexities and uid migration. However, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood, especially, the processes and conditions which lead to the apparent di erences between the swarm patterns and typi...
متن کاملFrog Swarms: Earthquake Precursors or False Alarms?
In short-term earthquake risk forecasting, the avoidance of false alarms is of utmost importance to preclude the possibility of unnecessary panic among populations in seismic hazard areas. Unusual animal behaviour prior to earthquakes has been reported for millennia but has rarely been scientifically documented. Recently large migrations or unusual behaviour of amphibians have been linked to la...
متن کاملAxial Structure of Fast Spreading Mid - Ocean Ridges : Implications for Overlapping Spreading Centers
Studies of the structure of mid-ocean ridges and the processes involved at these accreting plate boundaries have played an important role in the development of plate tectonics models over the last two decades. During this time our concept of the accretion/spreading process has evolved from a two-dimensional, steady-state picture to a three dimensional, time-dependent view of the volcanism and r...
متن کاملTwo continuum models for the spreading of myxobacteria swarms.
We analyze the phenomenon of spreading of a Myxococcus xanthus bacterial colony on plates coated with nutrient. The bacteria spread by gliding on the surface. In the first few hours, cell growth is irrelevant to colony spread. In this case, bacteria spread through peninsular protrusions from the edge of the initial colony. We analyze the diffusion through the narrowing reticulum of cells on the...
