Induced seismicity has received a lot of attention in recent years. This new natural phenomenon appeared as a result of active human influence on nature. The phenomenon has been detected in places of natural gas and oil recovery, and geological storage of CO₂. One of the main reasons for the observed seismic activity is associated with the adsorption-induced deformation of rocks. We present experimental data and a simple model describing adsorption-induced deformation using the example of the Berea sandstone. We suggest a simplified experiment for the undergraduate university laboratory.

润湿引起的地质砂岩尺寸变化

近年来，感应地震活动引起了很多关注。这种新的自然现象是人类对自然的积极影响的结果。该现象已在天然气和石油开采以及CO _2的地质储藏中被发现。观察到的地震活动的主要原因之一与岩石的吸附引起的变形有关。我们以Berea砂岩为例，介绍了实验数据和描述吸附引起的变形的简单模型。我们建议对大学本科实验室进行简化的实验。
