Earthquake Mechanisms at the Head of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Southern Kanto District, Japan
An analysis has been made of the rupture mechanism of two earthquakes which occurred in the vicinity of the oblique collision beneath the tip of the descending Philippine Sea plate and the Pacific plate beneath Chiba, Japan. The M=6.5 1956 Chiba earthquake occurred in a dense nest of seismicity at a depth of between 70 and 80km beneath Chiba city, and may represent deformation at the tip of the...
متن کاملIsolated intermediate-depth seismicity north of the Izu peninsula, Japan: implications for subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate
The subduction of the Philippine Sea (PHS) Plate toward the north of Izu peninsula, Japan, is of great interest because intraslab seismicity is absent where the buoyant Izu volcanic arc has been subducting over the past 15 Myr. This study analyzes 42 earthquakes in an isolated seismic cluster that occurred ~ 100 km north of Izu peninsula at depths of 40–90 km and discusses seismogenesis in the ...
متن کاملDeformation of the Manazuru Knoll in Sagami Bay, central Japan, associated with subduction of the Philippine Sea plate
In January 2010, we conducted a multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection survey in Sagami Bay. As a result of this study, the deformation of the Manazuru Knoll, which is located near the plate boundary, was obtained. The Manazuru Knoll was formed by an asymmetric anticline, and the knoll has a geometry that is bent in a shape similar to that of a crank. The anticlinal axis, which was confirmed by ...
متن کاملVariations of P wave speeds in the mantle transition zone beneath the northern Philippine Sea
Using waveforms and travel times from deep earthquakes, weconstructed 16 seismic profiles, each of which constrains theradial variation i Vp over a small area beneath e northern Philippine Sea. Taken together, the azimuthal coverage of these profiles also places tight bounds on the lateral extent of a region of anomalously high Vp (up to 3% faster than average Earth models) originally suggested...
متن کاملThe strength of large-scale plate boundaries: Constraints from the dynamics of the Philippine Sea plate since 5 Ma
Friction controls most of the strength of tectonic plate boundaries, and thus the force mutually exchanged between plates. Estimates of the plate-boundary friction-coefficient are therefore of paramount importance to our understanding of the lithosphere torque balance. However, several lines of evidence indicate that the friction-coefficient of plate margins is significantly lower than is measu...
