摘要: Focal coordinates for a suite of tremors associated with deep-level tabular mining were determined with uncertainties of about 35 m and the tremor positions were analyzed in terms of the stress field induced by mining in the immediate vicinity. All tremors occurred in a region of 300 m in extent and at depths near 3.1 km; their magnitudes ranged from− 1.5 to 2.5. The source rock in this region has no groundwater, whatsoever. The two major factors governing the occurrence of tremors appear to be the change in the stress field from its …
