Crustal subsidence, seismicity, and structure near Medicine Lake Volcano, California
January 1, 1991
The pattern of historical ground deformation, seismicity, and crustal structure near Medicine Lake volcano illustrates a close relation between magmatism and tectonism near the margin of the Cascade volcanic chain and the Basin and Range tectonic province. Subsidence occurs mainly by aseismic creep within 25km of the summit, where the crust has been heated and weakened by intrusions, and by normal faulting during episodic earthquake swarms in surrounding, cooler terrain. -from Authors
