Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics theory explains the global distribution of mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean basins and rift valleys on the surface of the Earth. What is the theory of plate tectonics? Plate tectonics theory explains that several plates move on top of the soft mantle. Scienti...
Correlating landslide occurrence with controlling parameters is important for understanding the spatial distribution of earthquake-triggered landslides. It is important to understand what areas are most likely to experience landsliding in future earthquakes. A detailed, comprehensive, and accurate earthquake-...
Earthquakes recorded beneath Chaitén in 2005 at ∼10 km depth [Lange et al., 2008] may thus correspond to deeper magma chamber replenishment, precursory to the eruption. [23] From the volumes lying beyond our mapped isopachs, we estimate that 5% of the ash (9 × 109 kg) fell over ...
2c) were preceded by deep earthquakes explained by injection of new basaltic magma8,12. The lack of injection of new basalt in late May is considered to have stopped the eruption, not the exhaustion of silicic magma in the crust12. Tephra fallout and distribution Although the tephra fallout ...
The sources of these slow earthquakes are located just below the seismogenic zone where megathrust earthquakes recur on the plate interface at intervals of a century or so (Ando, 1975). If the relation between slow earthquake activity and megathrust earthquakes were to be resolved, slow earthquake...
Also, we can observe a good correlation between the locations of the clustering of the volcanoes, high topography, negative Bouguer gravity anomaly along the coast of Japan Sea, an inclined low seismic wave velocity in the mantle wedge, and the distribution of deep, low-frequency earthquakes in...
The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet’s deep interior (mantle and core), water affects Earth’s thermal, deformational, melting, electrical and seismic properties, that control...
Earthquakes are important natural events, yet their impacts on animal communities are poorly known. Understanding earthquake impacts on groundwater communities is essential to assess their resilience and hence to perform conservation actions. We investig
