Rapid Deformation of the South Flank of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii

摘要: The south flank of Kilauea volcano has experienced two large [magnitude ( M ) 7.2 and 6.1] earthquakes in the past decades. Global Positioning System measurements conducted between 1990 1993 reveal seaward displacements Kilauea9s central at rates up to about 10 centimeters per year. In contrast, northern side distal ends did not displace significantly. observations can be explained by slip on a low-angle fault beneath combined with dilation deep within rift system, both least 15
