Cerro Negro de Mayasquer volcano (Colombia): continuing earthquakes, appearance of seismic tremor
sab, 22 nov 2014, 10:27
10:27 AM | AUTORE: TWhile most quakes have been very small, a few were strong enough to be felt by local inhabitants.
One possible cause of the earthquake swarm is a magma intrusion at depth, which could be a precursor to new activity of the volcano. This hypothesis is becoming more likely since weak episodes of seismic tremor have started to appear on seismic recordings of stations near the volcano. Tremor are long-lasting regular ground vibrations typical for fluid movements at depth. These could be magma, gasses and/or hydrothermal fluids (water). Which of them is responsible cannot be said at the moment.
