説明

Sakurajima volcano experiences, in addition to repeated vulcanian eruptions, intermittent small eruptions similar in style to strombolian eruptions. These strombolian-like eruptions are associated with swarms of BL-type earthquakes dominated by low frequency components (1-3Hz). Ground deformation associated with BL-type earthquake swarms was detected by water-tube tiltmeters and extensometers in an underground tunnel. Tilt and strain records were corrected by BAYTAP-G to account for the tidal effect. Gradual tilt change of crater-side-up (20-320nrad) and extension of the ground (8-170nstrain) continued for 3-30 hours before the BL swarms. The inflation was temporarily suspended for 0.5-19 hours, and was then followed by deflation associated with BL swarms. The degree of tilt and strain change was in the same order as that for vulcanian eruptions; however the duration of inflation processes is longer than that of a vulcanian explosion (by several minutes to several hours). The inflation rates (2-28nrad/h, 2-16nstrain/h) prior to BL swarms are smaller than those prior to vulcanian eruptions (20-90nrad/h, 10-50nstrain/h). In the deflation process, tilt change of crater-side-down (40-300nrad) and contraction of the ground (20-160nstrain) continued for 1-6.5 hours and was accompanied by BL swarms. The deflation rates (17-113nrad/h, 12-57nstrain/h) accompanying BL swarms are small. The deflation rates of 1/3 of the vulcanian eruptions exceeded the upper limit of the deflation rate that accompanied the BL swarms. The depth of the source of pressure that is thought to induce the ground deformation associated with BL swarms is estimated to be 3-4km for both inflation and deflation processes (assuming the Mogi source to be horizontally located at the center of crater). No difference in depth is detected for vulcanian eruptions. Volcanic gases were emitted in the inflation process prior to BL swarms, however volcanic gas emission stopped in the inflation process prior to vulcanian eruptions. It is inferred that prior to vulcanian eruptions, the top of the conduit is plugged by a lava dome derived from cooled and degassed magma, and the internal pressure rapidly increases. In contrast, prior to BL swarms, the upper conduit is loosely choked and the internal pressure gradually increases due to the intrusion of new magma from a deeper source. The difference in inflation rates may be caused by the degree of choking of the upper conduit. BH-type earthquakes dominated by high frequency components (5-8Hz) occurred alongside inflation prior to a BL swarm. The inflation rate almost reached the maximum rate prior to BL swarms that occurred without pre-BH-type earthquakes. It is inferred that a high inflation rate due to choking of the conduit is the cause of BH-type earthquakes.
