Continuous Tremor Signal

Continuous Tremor Signal

A Continuous Tremor Signal is a continuous release of seismic energy typically associated with the underground movement of magma. It contrasts distinctly with the sudden release and rapid decrease of seismic energy associated with the more common type of earthquake caused by slippage along a geological fault.
