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.

Also shown are seismicity data after Umino et al.(2000) (circles), S-wave reflectors (squares) & P-wave scatterers (stars)determined by Asano(1998), seismic relection result after Hirata et al.(1999), and seismic refraction result after Iwasaki et al.(1999).
