INVESTIGATION OF SOIL GAS RADON CHANGES ON MANISA FAULT
Project no. 220 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
Radon gas, which is produced in the deep layers of the earth's crust and migrates into the atmosphere, is a vital precursor used in the study of the earth's crust movements. Studies have shown anomalies in radon concentrations before, during and after earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. For this reason, radon gas is continuously monitored around the fault lines and volcanoes as well as many precursors. In this project, located in Turkey active fault and soil gas on the Gediz Graben Fault forms the western end of Manisa on the map of radon concentrations were measured periodically, and relationship with seismic activity of radon concentration were investigated.
