From: Dyke intrusion and stress-induced collapse of volcano flanks: The example of the 2018 event at Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy)

Figure 4

Vertical section of VP and VP/VS (top) across the 2018 intrusive dyke (segment O-A in Fig. 1) and along the lateral collapse fault (segment A-B in Fig. 1). The white box indicates the extent of the intrusive dyke, while dashed white line indicates the decollement layer. Red stars are ML ≥ 4.0 earthquakes and yellow star is the MW = 4.9 event. The lower panel shows VP and VP/VS changes during the intrusive period. Note the increase of VP (increase of stiffness) around the intruded dyke that propagates at the base of the decollement. High VP/VS on top of the decollement and along the FPF (black polygon) is observed, as well as an increase during the intrusion.
