Seismic velocity structure in and around the Naruko volcano, NE Japan, and its implications for volcanic and seismic activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geofluids is important for understanding volcanic and earthquake generation processes. In this study, we obtained a detailed seismic velocity structure in and around the Naruko volcano, northeastern Japan, using data from a dense seismic observation network. We found a distinct seismic low-velocity zone (LVZ) beneath the Naruko volcano, with a diameter of nearly 10 to 20 km in the lower crust. This LVZ could correspond to a magma chamber. We also found a seismic low-velocity zone beneath the aftershock region of the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake. This LVZ could correspond to an area with overpressurized fluid, which promoted the occurrence of the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake.

متن کاملSpatial and temporal seismic velocity changes on Kyushu Island during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake
Monitoring of earthquake faults and volcanoes contributes to our understanding of their dynamic mechanisms and to our ability to predict future earthquakes and volcanic activity. We report here on spatial and temporal variations of seismic velocity around the seismogenic fault of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake [moment magnitude (Mw) 7.0] based on ambient seismic noise. Seismic velocity near the r...
متن کاملCombined use of repeated active shots and ambient noise to detect temporal changes in seismic velocity: application to Sakurajima volcano, Japan
Coda-wave interferometry is a technique to detect small seismic velocity changes using phase changes in similar waveforms from repeating natural or artificial sources. Seismic interferometry is another technique for detecting seismic velocity changes from cross-correlation functions of ambient seismic noise. We simultaneously use these two techniques to clarify seismic velocity changes at Sakur...

In order to evaluate seismic hazard along Qoshadagh Fault (QDF, the causative fault of 11 Aug. 2012 Varzegan- Ahar earthquake), geometric and seismic parameters of the fault were investigated. QDF consists of a central E-W striking, dextral-reverse segment terminating at both ends into NW-SE striking splay arrays. Both eastern and western splay arrays form locally transtensional bends. The NW-S...

Detection of subsurface structures by means of gravity method can be used to determine mass distribution and density contrast of rock units. This distribution could be detected by different geophysical methods, especially gravity method. However, gravity techniques have some drawbacks and can't be always successful in distinguishing subsurface structures. Performance of the gravity technique co...
