Geological characteristics of the Nankai Trough subduction zone and their tectonic significances

Acta Oceanologica Sinica, 2020
The Nankai Trough subduction zone is a typical subduction system characterized by subduction of multiple geological units of the Philippine Sea Plate (the Kyushu-Palau Ridge, the Shikoku Basin, the Kinan Seamount Chain, and the Izu-Bonin Arc) beneath the Eurasian Plate in the southwest of Japan.

Origin of a zone of anomalously high porosity in the subduction inputs to Nankai Trough

Marine Geology, 2015
Abstract One poorly understood feature of the subduction inputs to the Nankai Trough subduction zone (SW Japan) is a stratigraphic interval with an anomalously high porosity zone (HPZ), which is up to 240 m thick and located within the clay- and volcanic ash-rich Shikoku Basin facies.

Splay Fault Branching Along the Nankai Subduction Zone

Science, 2002
Seismic reflection profiles reveal steeply landward–dipping splay faults in the rupture area of the magnitude (M) 8.1 Tonankai earthquake in the Nankai subduction zone. These splay faults branch upward from the plate-boundary interface (that is, the subduction zone) at a depth of ∼10 kilometers, ∼50 to 55 kilometers landward of the trough axis ...

Interseismic deformation at the Nankai Trough, Japan, subduction zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1992
Uplift along the coast of southwestern Japan following the 1944 Tonankai (Ms = 8.0) and 1946 Nankaido (Ms = 8.2) earthquakes has been inferred from the 1950–1985 tide gage records. Although uplift rates vary with geographic position, the temporal dependence at each site can be described as the superposition of an exponentially decaying (time constant ...

A low-velocity zone with weak reflectivity along the Nankai subduction zone

Geology, 2010
Three-dimensional seismic reflection data reveal the presence of a low seismic velocity zone (LVZ) with weak reflectivity character along the Nankai accretionary prism. This LVZ is intercalated between an upper, offscraped layer and a lower, underthrusting layer in the outer accretionary wedge.

Acoustic Waveform Tomography of OBS data in the Nankai subduction zone

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2010, 2010
Acoustic waveform tomography was applied to Ocean Bottom seismograph data acquired in the seismogenic Nankai subduction zone. To reduce artifacts arising from elastic effects, the inversion focused on early arrivals, and was conducted in two steps; i) fitting phase information, and ii) the incorporation of amplitude information. Image sources were used

Historical activity of an onshore subduction thrust and related geomorphic changes, northeastern Nankai subduction zone

2023
We show new geomorphic and geologic evidence for historical activity of the onshore deformation front of the Nankai subduction zone, constrained by Holocene tectonic geomorphology, high-resolution borehole stratigraphy, and seismic reflection profile.  Borehole transect across a newly recognized late Holocene fold scarp contains middle to late

Deformation and stress localization at the Nankai subduction zone, southwest Japan

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003
Abstract Deformation observed at subduction zones provides direct information on kinematics/mechanics of plate interaction. Previous analysis of GPS (global positioning system) observations at Japan subduction zones mainly focused on the pattern of deformation or strain, and did not attempt to assess stress change associated with plate subduction. In

8. Deformation and Mechanical Strength of Sediments at the Nankai Subduction Zone

2007
As in many depositional settings, marine sediments at convergent margins undergo diagenetic changes before, during, and after mechanical consolidation and deformation.
