Beginning
September 6, 1996, the Autonomous
Hydrophone Array deployed by PMEL in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
recorded what appears to be volcanic seismicity from the East Pacific
Rise near 9 S and 109W. The activity appears to die down after only 1
day with a total of 34 events located.
The character
of the seismicity appears volcanic, but the short duration of the event
and the location on a fracture zone make the interpretation difficult.
A small seamount near the site may also be involved.
