Analysis of manifestation of joint acoustic and electric responses of near-surface sedimentary rocks on the deformation by earthquake seismic waves in the South of Kamchatka

We continue the investigation of earlier discovered joint acoustic and electric responses of near-surface sedimentary rocks on the deformation by earthquake seismic waves. The appearance and absence of this response in earthquakes with the energy class of more than 11.0, which occurred from June 2017 to May 2021 by the eastern coast of Kamchatka in the latitude band of 51.7-54.0° N, are under consideration. From those earthquakes we selected 52 events, the seismic waves of which had rock acoustic response at Karymshina site, IKIR FEB RAS. Occurrences of joint acoustic and electric responses of rocks and manifestations of their low-frequency and high-frequency acoustic responses were analyzed. Applying the nonparametric correlation Spearman analysis, statistically significant relation between the energy class of the earthquakes under consideration and the distance from hypocenter to the observation site was discovered.
