Abstract
When an earthquake occurs, it is not only the crustal material in the seismic zone that moves violently; the seismic waves of the earthquake with certain level of energy can act on the crust over large areas, producing remote effects that affect the living environment. According to the records of the long-term observation station of Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling, the effects of near-surface crust caused by the post-earthquake seismic waves include the following four aspects: (1) the pore fissure loosening; (2) the pore pressure rising and groundwater upwelling; (3) gas releasing; and (4) exothermic reaction. The effects of groundwater upwelling, gas releasing and exothermic reaction may be superimposed on the process of global warming, which has a certain impact on the terrestrial environment and requires further studies.
Highlights
It has long been known that when an earthquake occurs, some crustal material in the seismic zones moves, and gas gushes out from the active faults [1,2,3,4]
At the same time, if large- and medium-sized earthquakes produce a certain amount of energy of seismic waves spreading widely in the land, will it affect the human living environment? If so, to what extent? Based on the analysis of long-term underground observation records, we briefly analyze the recorded data of the crustal movement observation station of Chinese
Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD), in order to understand the remote effects caused by vibration energy of the seismic waves
