Figure 3: Average diurnal variation of earthquake occurrence rate at Erebus summit between 29 November and 10 December 1981. Large earthquakes (>600 W) were not frequent between 2 and 6 hours NZST, while small earthquakes (0.6-6 W) were most frequent between 10 and 18 hours NZST and correlated with the mean diurnal gravity tide.
Figure 4: Earthquake occurrence rate versus size at the summit of Erebus. The levels and slopes of the graph are similar in the 80/81 and 81/82 seasons, and show different b-values for small earthquakes and for the larger earthquakes which are usually accompanied by eruptions.
