摘要
Cross-well electromagnetic tomography has been used to monitor the changes of the abso rption coefficient of electromagnetic waves before and after earthquakes for 5 years at Dahuichang fault since 1992.It has been found that 3 months before the occurrence of moderately strong earthquakes(ML≥4.0,△【210 km),several special changes in tomogram appeared as follows:The mean-value of the absorption coefficient dropped about 10% compared with the annually decreasing tendency; the mean difference of pixels suddenly decreased or increased in different directions; and the entropy of the paragenic matrix in a tomogram decreased and the number of low absorption pixels increased.It is inferred that such changes in electromagnetic tomograms are attributed to the variation of micro-cracks and porosity in rocks.Electromagnetic tomography can be studied as a new technique to detect earthquake precursors.
