Reactivation of basement faults by deep fluids during the 2017 Changdao earthquake swarm, Eastern China
Abstract
A distinctive migration pattern consistent with fluid pressure diffusion is identified within a high-resolution earthquake catalogue of the 2017 Changdao swarm and suggests a fault-valve mechanism driven by overpressure CO2-rich fluids was responsible.
