Abstract

The sensitivity to permeability changes in fracture zones caused by earthquakes remains unclear. In this study, we compare the changes in tidal parameters of water levels in four monitoring wells in the Huayingshan Fracture zone. The results demonstrate differing sensitivity to permeability changes caused by seismic waves in the fracture zone. Based on the mechanisms underlying permeability changes induced by earthquakes and geological information of the fracture zone, the influencing factors were discussed. The permeability changes in the fracture zone with gas are more sensitive to seismic waves than those without gas. The differences in sensitivity may be attributed to the types of clogged materials within the fractures. This study provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying permeability changes that induce hydrological responses and the challenges faced by resources and the environment due to seismic waves
