Abstract: | Four types of disturbances in the seasonal variation in georesistivity are presented in the light of specific circumstances
in China. As the results of theoretic calculation for the models and in comparison of the calculated results with the seasonal
variations observed at 40 georesistivity stations, the following points are found: (1) The seasonal variation in georesistivity
is caused by the change in resistivity of the surface layer, especially by the annual variation of phreatic level when the
sounding depth is too shallow. This is one of the disturbances and thus has no relation to the origin of earthquake. The feature
and amplitude of the seasonal variation depend on the types of disturbance models, geoelectric cross sections and sounding
depth. (2) The seasonal variation in georesistivity usually has the same sign as that of the change in resistivity of shallow
layer and thus the normal seasonal change appears. However, as far as the K or Q types of geoelectric cross sections are concerned,
the abnormal seasonal variation in georesistivity starts to appear with a certain electrode spacing, when the interference
layer is located in the first layer. (3) Both abnormal and normal seasonal variations in georesistivity will be smaller than
2% when the sounding depth is greater than 300 m. Therefore, the seasonal variations can be removed or restrained when the
location of observation has been properly chosen or the electrode spacing is enlarged enough to obtain a sufficient sounding
depth. |
