根据1995年8月1日至1996年3月31日记录的数据,b值测量的地震频率-震级分布是作为蒙塞拉特岛Soufriere火山地下空间的函数确定的。在英国陨石坑和吉斯峰下方0和1.5公里处拍摄了半径为1.5公里的异常高b值(b bbb3.0)体积。这个高b值异常向西南延伸至盖奇的苏弗里埃。在深度大于2.5公里的地方,在圣乔治山、风山和深度低于2.5公里的英格兰陨石坑以南,发现了相对较低的b值(b ~ 1)。我们推测火山下高b值异常的深度可能是二氧化硅含量的函数,受一些附加因素的影响,在最浅的深度,大多数硅质具有高度断裂或含有高孔隙压力的体积。
The frequency‐magnitude distribution of earthquakes measured by the b‐value is determined as a function of space beneath Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, from data recorded between August 1, 1995 and March 31, 1996. A volume of anomalously high b‐values (b > 3.0) with a 1.5 km radius is imaged at depths of 0 and 1.5 km beneath English's Crater and Chance's Peak. This high b‐value anomaly extends southwest to Gage's Soufriere. At depths greater than 2.5 km volumes of comparatively low b‐values (b∼1) are found beneath St. George's Hill, Windy Hill, and below 2.5 km depth and to the south of English's Crater. We speculate the depth of high b‐value anomalies under volcanoes may be a function of silica content, modified by some additional factors, with the most siliceous having these volumes that are highly fractured or contain high pore pressure at the shallowest depths.
