摘要: •Seismo-crustal anomalies are related to fault strikes retrieved from focal mechanisms.•Seismo-conductivity anomalies are close to epicenters of forthcoming earthquakes.•These anomalies and EQs yield agreements in the temporal and spatial domains. This study examines the relationships between seismo-deformation and seismo-conductivity anomalies during two M6 earthquakes that occurred on March 27th and June 2nd, 2013 in Taiwan. The Hilbert–Huang Transform is applied on surface displacement data to remove the effects of noise, semi-annual and annual cycles, and the long-term plate movements. The residual displacements have similar orientations when earthquake-related stress accumulates in the crust. Once the accumulated stress approaches the threshold for fault rupture, the orientations of the residual displacements generally become random, except in a small region near the epicenter. Interestingly, high-conductivity anomalies, which can be detected from the 3-component magnetic data via the magnetic transfer function, exist in places very close to this small region near the epicenter. Spatial and temporal correlations between the high-conductivity anomalies and the small region of seismo-deformation anomalies suggest that electric charges may migrate and become trapped in the region during seismogenic processes due to differential stress accumulation. These electric charges form a high-conductivity material that affects the Parkinson vector of the geomagnetic field. 出版者: Elsevier Ltd 出版日期: 2015-12-15 出處: Journal of Asian earth sciences, 2015-12, Vol.114, p.327-337 資源來源: Elsevier ScienceDirect Journals Complete 版權: 2015 Elsevier Ltd 識別號: ISSN: 1367-9120 識別號: EISSN: 1878-5786 識別號: DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2015.03.023
