Seismic Signature Analysis for Clarification of Mud Volcanoes from the New Mud Diapirs Discovered at the NE-SW Moroccan Atlantic Margin

نویسندگان

چکیده

Our aim is to clarify mud volcanoes from the new diapirs resulting seismic attributes analysis applied low resolution Burmah oil “1973-1974” data. The latter was carried out on Larache and Tanger-Larache offshores NE-SW Atlantic margin. high data essential for this evaluation. In case, we signature four profiles map of set, which includes all diapirs. This helped us classify different types within profiles. And as a result, six deep Prerifaine Nappe Morocco, shallow diapir, seafloor-piercing have been observed. Furthermore, show mushroom-shaped conical-shaped cone. As they break through seafloor, these kinds cones characterize volcanoes. may conclude that resultant are likely be However, more geological sampling seafloor observation still required.

Subsurface modeling of mud volcanoes, using density model and analysis of seismic velocity

Detection of subsurface structures by means of gravity method can be used to determine mass distribution and density contrast of rock units. This distribution could be detected by different geophysical methods, especially gravity method. However, gravity techniques have some drawbacks and can't be always successful in distinguishing subsurface structures. Performance of the gravity technique co...

Earthquake triggering of mud volcanoes

Mud volcanoes sometimes erupt within days after nearby earthquakes. The number of such nearly coincident events is larger than would be expected by chance and the eruptions are thus assumed to be triggered by earthquakes. Here we compile observations of the response of mud volcanoes and other geologic systems (earthquakes, volcanoes, liquefaction, ground water, and geysers) to earthquakes. The ...

Chemosymbiotic bivalves from the mud volcanoes of the Gulf of Cadiz, NE Atlantic, with descriptions of new species of Solemyidae, Lucinidae and Vesicomyidae

The chemosymbiotic bivalves collected from the mud volcanoes of the Gulf of Cadiz are reviewed. Of the thirteen species closely associated with chemosynthetic settings two Solemyidae, Solemya (Petrasma) elarraichensissp. n. and Acharax gadiraesp. n., one Lucinidae, Lucinoma asapheussp. n., and one Vesicomyidae, Isorropodon megadesmussp. n. are described and compared to close relatives of their ...

Large historical eruptions at subaerial mud volcanoes, Italy

Active mud volcanoes in the northern Apennines, Italy, currently have gentle eruptions. There are, however, historical accounts of violent eruptions and outbursts. Evidence for large past eruptions is also recorded by large decimeter rock clasts preserved in erupted mud. We measured the rheological properties of mud currently being erupted in order to evaluate the conditions needed to transport...
