A Review on Mining Induced Earthquake
Abstract: Seismicity in mines, in general, depends on depth, production rate, mining geometry and geological discontinuities such as dykes, faults etc. Induced earthquakes differ from normal earthquakes in that they have occurred prematurely due to an external trigger. Except for much of the micro seismicity, the virgin state of stress in the Earth’s crust depends on, among other factors, gravity and tectonics. In, or near, a mine the stress state is …
