Explosion earthquakes of Mount Erebus, Antarctica
The characteristics of explosions of Mount Erebus, Antarctica are analyzed using the data of the seismic network operated by the International Mount Erebus Seismic Study (IMESS). About 70 earthquakes have been located by the network between 16 February and 29 June 1982. An aseismic zone is recogniza...
