The epicentral areas of volcanic earthquakes and their volcanotectonic significance
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los sismos volcánicos ocurren como enjambres en los alrededores del volcán. En este artículo se analiza el tamaño de la zona epicentral de los sismos volcánicos así como la posición del evento máximo. Se eligen para el estudio las ocho erupciones más grandes de todo el mundo. El área de la zona epicentral puede variar mucho para diferentes volcanes. Los sis[1]mos máximos pueden ocurrir lejos (hasta 10-15 km) del centro eruptivo. El área de la zona epicentral y la distancia entre el sismo máximo y el centro eruptivo se correlacionan inversamente con el espesor de la corteza. Se propone que la zona de fracturamiento entre la cámara magmática y la superficie es mayor en la dimensión vertical que en la horizontal para los volcanes continentales y lo contrario para los volcanes oceánicos.
