6-7. Study on Crustal Resistivity Structure
The crustal resistivity structure is investigated in areas of high seismic
and volcanic activities. The
results from seismically active areas indicate a relation between distribution
of microearthquakes
and/or deap seated active faults and crustal resistivity. In volcanic
areas, investigations aim to clarify
the relations between ground water distribution and precursory signal
generation, depth to magma
source and features of volcanic eruption.
