Precursary phenomena

felt shocks
  • frequency per day
  • months or days before eruption
  • maximum intensity I to XII
  • distance from vent
unfelt shocks
  • frequency per day
  • S-P duration/ sec
  • max ground amplitude (um or um/s at ... km from vent)
micro-tremors
  • duration (total days or hours)
  • period (sec)
  • max amplitude (um or um/s at ... km from vent)
increase in ground temperature
  • area affected (sq km)
  • distance from eruption point
