RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCANIC ERUPTION INFERRED FROM HISTORICAL RECORDS

Abstract

A large number of seismic records are discovered for the first time in the historical materials about Wudalianchi volcanic group eruption in 1720–1721, which provides us with abundant volcanic earthquake information. Based on the written records, the relationship between earthquake and volcanic eruption is discussed in the paper. Furthermore it is pointed that earthquake swarm is an important indication of volcanic eruption. Therefore, monitoring volcanic earthquakes is of great significance for forecasting volcanic eruption.
