Interpreting Tilt Vectors


- Do the tilt vectors in figure A indicate inflation or deflation of the
summit?
- Is the maximum amount of tilt in the caldera, around the edge of the
caldera, or far from the caldera?
- Use a ruler to draw lines in the direction opposite to the tilt
vector. Repeat for 5 to 10 stations (shown by triangles). The
intersection of the lines should define a small area. What is the
significance of this area?
- Does the area defined in Question 3 correspond with Halemaumau Crater?
How far and in what direction is the area from Halemaumau Crater?
- Why is the area defined in Question 3 not located at Halemaumau Crater?
- Do the tilt vectors in figure B indicate inflation or deflation of the
summit?
- Does the area of maximum uplift correspond with the area of maximum
deflation?
