Although there are many methods for investigating tectonic structures, many faults remain hidden, and they can endanger the life and property of people living along them. The slopes of volcanoes are covered with such hidden faults, near which strong earthquakes and gas releases can appear. Revealing hidden faults can therefore contribute significantly to the protection of people living in volcanic areas. In the study, seven different techniques were used for making measurements of in-soil radon concentrations in order to search for hidden faults on the SE flank of the Mt. Etna volcano. These reported methods had previously been proved to be useful tools for investigating fault structures. The main aim of the experiment presented here was to evaluate the usability of these methods in the geological conditions of the Mt. Etna region, and to find the best place for continual radon monitoring using a permanent station in the near future.
虽然有许多方法用于研究构造结构，但许多断层仍然隐藏着，它们可能危及沿线居民的生命和财产。火山斜坡上覆盖着这类隐藏的断层，附近可能会发生强烈地震和气体释放。因此，揭示隐藏的断层对保护火山地区居民具有重要意义。在这项研究中，使用了七种不同的技术来测量土壤中的氡浓度，以便在埃特纳火山东南侧翼寻找隐藏的断层。这些已报道的方法先前已被证明是研究断层结构的有用工具。本文所展示实验的主要目的是评估这些方法在埃特纳地区地质条件下的可用性，并在不久的将来找到使用永久监测站进行持续氡监测的最佳地点。
