Figure 9. There has been a sustained burst of seismicity near Kirishima volcano since the magnitude 7.1 shock struck. These quakes are quite small in magnitude. Whether this burst of activity was caused by the shaking waves or the dilation of the volcanic system is unknown, but it could hint at volcanic unrest. Credit: Temblor, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
