The Seiches and Volcanic Eruption Triggered by the 6 October 1597 Earthquake with M≥8 in the “ Hunchun-Wangqing, Northeast China, Deep-Focus Seismic Zone ”
摘要
This paper investigates the intensity characteristics of the 6 October 1597 earthquake, the accompanied seismic seiches and volcanic eruption, and discusses the type and magnitude of the earthquake. The result suggests that the 6 October 1597 earthquake was probably a great deep-focus earthquake with M≥8 which occurred in the “Hunchun-Wangqing deep-focus seismic zone”, and the earthquake produced extensive seismic seiches in the eastern China with many patterns similar to that of 1775 Lisbon earthquake. The 1597 earthquake triggered a small-medium scale explosive eruption of Wangtian’e volcano at Changbai County, Jilin Province.
