Seismic energy generated by a sudden volume change

M. J. RANDALL

SEISMOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY GEOPHYSICS DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH, WELLINGTON, New Zealand

Abstract

The recent suggestion that sudden phase transitions may provide a mechanism for earthquakes is examined mathematically for the simple case of sudden change of volume. Such a transition, even for a small density change, offers a much more concentrated source of seismic energy than does sudden faulting.
