Draft:Calabash resonances

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A calabash resonance is a prolonged seismic oscillation that can occur within the magma chamber-conduit system of a volcano. These resonances potentially arise when seismic waves, slowed and trapped by the contrast in velocities between magma and surrounding rock, undergo multiple reflections inside the magma-filled structures. External seismic events, like volcanic-tectonic earthquakes, trigger these oscillations, which persist as distinct resonance frequencies.

The calabash resonance is named for its resemblance to the shape of the calabash fruit.[1]
