Similarly, in the Sumatra subduction system, a high gravity anomaly zone exists behind the trench (approximately 93° E to 97° E and 2.5° N to 6° N), where series of fracture zones intersect the Sumatra trench (Figure 2b).
A high-value anomaly of Young's modulus and a low-value anomaly of Poisson's ratio can be used to evaluate the rock brittleness and to infer "sweet spots" of shale gas reservoirs (Harris et al. 2011; Zong et al. 2013).
A high-end anomaly a few years ago, three- or four-hour menus now look like the future of fine dining.
Dining, 10/9: Nibbled to Death A high-end anomaly a few years ago, three- or four-hour menus now look like the future of fine dining.
The results of a deep sea magnetic survey, which was conducted using autonomous underwater vehicles, also revealed a high-magnetic anomaly on the caldera wall (Honsho et al. 2010, 2012, 2013) This implies the existence of a fault in this part.
Although the spatial distribution of the magma reservoir beneath Mt. Fuji remains unclear, a seismic tomography study (Nakamichi et al. 2007) revealed a high-Vp/Vs anomaly around 15 25 km depth that is interpreted as a zone of basaltic partial melting.
"You create kind of a high-pressure anomaly — a bit of a cap, if you will — at the higher altitudes in the atmosphere".
The negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), with a high-pressure anomaly over the GIS, has previously been implicated [ Mote, 1998] in enhancing melting of the surface of the GIS.
In contrast, the mantle wedge in the southern area (offshore of Fukushima) shows a low- VP(= 7.4 km/s) (Miura et al.2003; denoted by a blue bar in Figure11) and a high- VP/VS anomaly (Yamamoto et al.2008).2008
The Sn model of the China region obtained by Pei et al. (2007) showed low velocity anomalies at Yunnan, SGFB, and the western Qiangtang block, and a high velocity anomaly at Sichuan Basin which are similar to our model.
