Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 275001 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Philippines and SE Asia |
| Country: | China |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | Yes |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | 2007-2011 |
| Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Magmatic |
| Characteristics of deformation: | Ji et al. (2015) propose that the observed surface deformation pattern is due to a magma-fed dyke. This dyke is modeled to by approximately 54 km long, 1 km wide, dipping 71° to the west and 25 km beneath Hainan Island. |
