The schematic diagram of seismic velocity variations affected by tidal forces.

Caption

Figure 3. The schematic diagram depicts how tidal strain impacts seismic velocity changes within the fault zone. The fracture zone around the Anninghe fault contains multiple fractures, and the opening and closing of these fractures due to tidal strain can modulate relative seismic velocity changes.
