Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica, is in an active state. Signatures from seismograms recorded by a permanent seismographic station maintained by the Costa Rican Vulcanological and Seismological Observatory, Heredia, Costa Rica, the seismograms written by an MEQ-800 portable seismographic unit, and a log taken of visual and audio observances of events at the volcano were correlated in order to identify specific characteristics of different types of activity. The study was carried out during a period of approximately two months. Data collected over this period was also used to determine depth ranges for the origen of explosive activity within the volcanic structure. The explosive activity was classified into groups of small, medium, and large based on heights of ash and gas clouds, sound, and identified charactaristics of specific signatures. There were distinct sets of vulcanic activity classified under the small category. The medium and large categories were similar in appearance but at varying intensities. From March to April Arenal Volcano showed a significant increase in the number of small explosive activity, during which time some of the largest observed eruptions also occurred. It is clear that present activity, although spectacular, does not pose a major threat to nearby communities since at present Arenal Volcano behaves as an open system (Guendal, personal commication, 1987).

Download or read book A new seismotectonic model approach to Nicaragua written by M.O. Cotilla-Rodríguez, L. Álvarez-Gómez, D. Córdoba-Barba and A. Muñoz-Guerrero and published by Mario Cotilla Rodriguez. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title perfectly describes the content and purpose of the book. The language used in the presentation is appropriate and conforms to contemporary scientific terminology. The structure of the text is harmoniously justified and includes 54 figures, 33 tables and 199 references, in 99 pages. Authors sustain the idea of St. Francis of Assisi (Italy, ¿?-1226): “La verdadera enseñanza que transmitimos es lo que vivimos; y somos buenos predicadores cuando ponemos en práctica lo que decimos”. For the first time, a seismotectonic model for Central America is proposed and argued, subdividing it into two Seismotectonic Provinces: America Central I (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua) and America Central II (Costa Rica and Panama). Significant differences appear in these regions with respect to the existing models in Chile, México and Peru; where Central America's lower hazard is highlighted. This is very important at the time of making hazard and risk estimates, especially when the limited monetary resources of Central American countries are known. The authors undertook an extensive review of all the materials available to them, and the use of several bibliography (in different languages) reflected in the book demonstrates it. An element of consideration has been the argumentation about the fragmentation of active structures, the transmission of stresses and the corresponding deformations; as well as the hierarchy of all tectonic elements. Highlights the novel proposal of a set of active tectonic knots in Central America, and Nicaragua in particular. In this sense, in the vicinity of the Managua City, a knot is defined that justifies its unique seismic activity. It is hoped, mainly, in Nicaragua, and that it will allow them to question, with critical eyes and minds, the dogmas and models that are accepted by the majority of the scientific community. In this regard, the following reasoning is given: “Cualquier ayuda innecesaria es un obstáculo para el desarrollo” (María Tecla Artemisa Montessori/ Italy, 1870-Netherlands, 1952). Finally, the use of several languages for the presentation of the work and the different covers is commendable. This should be an incentive for the new generations [“The limits of my language are the limits of my world” (Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgensteine/ Austria, 1889-United Kingdom, 1951)].

Download or read book Neotectonism of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica written by Eli Joseph LaFromboise and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific margin of Costa Rica forms the leading edge of the Caribbean plate along the southern Middle America Trench, where the Cocos plate subducts northeastward at ~9 cm/yr. Steep subduction of older, smooth Cocos seafloor beneath northern Costa Rica transitions abruptly into shallow subduction of younger, rough, hotspot-thickened crust beneath southern Costa Rica. This transition in seafloor morphology originates at the Cocos-Nazca-Pacific Triple Junction and intersects the trench at the southern end of Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, profoundly influencing upper plate morphotectonics and regional seismicity. South of this transition, the subducting Cocos plate exhibits rugged vertical relief where a series of seamounts along the flank of the aseismic Cocos Ridge collides with the overriding plate resulting in frequent moderate magnitude earthquakes (Mw ≤ 6.5). North of the transition, the Nicoya Peninsula forms a broad emergent portion of the northern Costa Rica forearc located

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on multiscale seismic tomography, written by one of the leaders in the field, is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and professionals in Earth and planetary sciences who need to broaden their horizons about seismotectonics, volcanism, and interior structure and dynamics of the Earth and Moon. It describes the state-of-the-art in seismic tomography, with emphasis on the new findings obtained by applying tomographic methods in local, regional, and global scales for understanding the generating mechanism of large and great earthquakes such as the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake (Mw 9.0), crustal and upper mantle structure, origin of active arc volcanoes and intraplate volcanoes including hotspots, heterogeneous structure of subduction zones, fate of subducting slabs, origin of mantle plumes, mantle convection, and deep Earth dynamics. The first lunar tomography and its implications for the mechanism of deep moonquakes and lunar evolution are also introduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries people living on volcanoes have known that the outset of seismic activity is often a forerunner of a volcanic eruption. This understand ing allowed people living close to the sites of the Mt. Nuovo 1538 eruption at Campi Flegrei, Italy, and of the Mt. Usu 1663 eruption, in Hokkaido, Japan (to quote only two examples) to flee before the eruptions started. During the second half of the 19th century seismographs were installed on some volcanoes, and the link between seismic and eruptive activity started to be assessed on a firmer scientific basis. The first systematic observations of the correlations existing between seismic activity and volcanic eruptions were probably those carried out at Mt. Vesuvius by Luigi Palmieri in 1856. Palmieri was the Director of Osservatorio Vesuviano and built an electromagnetic seismograph with the aim of "making visible the smallest ground motions by recording them on paper and indicating direction, intensity and duration". He was able to show the relationship between earthquakes and the different phases of volcanic activity. He identified the harmonic tremor which he indicated was a precursor of volcanic activity: "the characteristic feature of the ground mo tions preceding eruption is its continuity . . . (before the eruption of 1861) the electromagnetic seismograph began to show a continuous tremor". The Palmieri seismograph was also utilized in Japan until 1883, when it was replaced by the new Gray-Milne seismographs, and, later, by the Omori in struments.
