Fig. 8From: Lateral migration of explosive hazards during maar eruptions constrained from crater shapesSimplified schematics of the distribution of hazard areas around crater growth eruption scenarios to highlight the potential complications caused by lateral relocation of explosion positions. a Hazards are evenly distributed when explosion locations are laterally fixed. b Lateral migrations ~ 1 footprint radius away from the first crater results in lateral jets through the crater wall and larger asymmetrical hazard areas. c Continued lateral migration ~ 1 radius can result in very complicated hazard areas like in shape A + B + C. d Example inclined jet produced by explosion experiments un pre-existing crater walls (Graettinger et al. 2015). e Explosion locations greater than one radius and less than 2 radii away from the previous epicenter produced larger hazard areas and compound cratersBack to article page
