A harmonic tremor is a type of continuous seismic activity often associated with the movement of magma in volcanoes. This type of seismic activity is characterized by a rhythmic, continuous, and nearly constant signal [[Seismic signal|seismic signal]] that can last for hours to days. Unlike regular earthquakes, which release energy in a single, short-lived event, harmonic tremors release energy over a prolonged period, making them a key indicator of volcanic activity. | A harmonic tremor is a type of continuous seismic activity often associated with the movement of magma in volcanoes.
