2. OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of the present study is to
determine the seismicity patterns by characterizing
the waveform similarity of the micro-earthquakes.
3. INTRODUCTION:
Geology has recently been defined as approximately
synonymous with solid-earth sciences.
But the many aspects of geology must be classified to
the best of our ability.
Seismology is the study of earthquakes and the
structure of the earth, by both naturally and artificially
generated seismic waves.
Seismologist analyses the seismic waves generated by
earthquake.
4. THE PROJECT WORK:
The analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of micro-
earthquakes in a low-seismicity area is often prevented
by the difficulty of assigning to each seismogenetic
structure of the investigated area its own earthquakes.
It has proven that the earthquake groups tightly
clustered in space are characterized by a common
source mechanism. In this mentioned problem, the
earthquake families have to separate by applying
‘Waveform Similarity Approach’.
5. This project work will describes the investigation of
the spatial and temporal evolution of micro-
earthquakes, which occurred in the Indian regions at
latest regional seismic network, yielding a quite
complete and homogeneous data set of locations and
waveforms.
To identify individual earthquake families, events
within a particular distance range from a central
station were selected and a simple technique based on
the peak of normalized cross-correlation will be
applied.
6. Conclusion:
Finally, this work will addresses the problem of
discovering recurrence patterns, which could give
evidence of repeated rupture on the same fault
segment.
