SEISMIC QUIESCENCE PRIOR TO THE KRONOTSKY EARTHQUAKE (Мw = 7.9, 5.12.1997), KAMCHATKA
Analysis of seismic setting prior to 1997 Kronotsky earthquake (M<sub>w</sub>=7.9, 5.12.1997) was conducted using SEQ (Seismic Energy Quiescence) method. Seismic quiescence of circa 2 years duration is detecting. Following seismic activation within the earthquake preparation area is observing two years ahead of the earthquake. Results of SEQ, Z-test and RTL methods were compared.
