Low-rate, aseismic magma supply to a small reservoir in the SW caused the surface deformation, while migration of fluids from the SW to the NE along faults caused the seismicity.https://drjameshickey.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/3d11_3.pngSakurajima example model resultAn example model result from Sakurajima volcano.
