Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018 The Nankai subduction zone off the Kii Peninsula, Japan, has a large potential to generate megathrust earthquakes in the near future. To investigate the temporal variation of stress or strain in the Nankai subduction zone, we estimated the temporal ...

Thermal effects of hydrothermal circulation and seamount subduction: Temperatures in the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment transect, Japan [PDF]
We examine the thermal effects of seamount subduction. Seamount subduction may cause transient changes in oceanic crust hydrogeology and plate boundary fault position. Prior to subduction, seamounts provide high‐permeability pathways between the basaltic

Crustal resistivity structure around the Nankai subduction zone
BUTSURI-TANSA(Geophysical Exploration), 2005 The forearc crust along the Nankai Trough is characterized as an accretionary prism. The unconsolidated sediments on the subducting Philippine Sea plate are underplated to the southwest Japan arc, so that large amount of fluid is supplied to the accretionary prism.

Nature Communications, 2017 In the Nankai subduction zone a low-velocity zone (LVZ) has been detected. Here, the authors present shear wave velocity profiles to show that low frequency earthquakes correlate with the distribution of the LVZ in the Nankai subduction zone.

Properties of the Subduction System in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 This thesis presents seismic imaging results of the structure of the Mexican subduction zone using receiver function (RF) based on teleseismic P-to-S converted waves, in order to gain insight into the physical and chemical factors associated with ...

Tidal sensitivity of tectonic tremors in Nankai and Cascadia subduction zones [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015 AbstractTectonic tremors in subduction zones, which result from slip at the deep plate interface, are known to exhibit a 12.4 h periodicity in their activity, due to tidal influence. Because tidal stress can be calculated quantitatively, the response of the plate interface can yield quantitative information about its frictional property.

(I) A Coupled Geochemical and Geodynamical Approach to Subduction Zone Modeling and (II) Development of Color in Greenish Quartz [PDF]
, 2008 (I) We couple a petrological model with a 2D thermal and variable viscosity flow model to describe and compare fundamental processes occurring within subduction zones.

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018 Ocean drilling in the Nankai Trough forearc suggests a new scenario for the evolution of the Nankai subduction zone. Continuous subduction since the Late Cretaceous has been a common tectonic scenario, although the plate subduction was transferred from ...

Bridging the gap between low-frequency and very-low-frequency earthquakes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 Slow earthquakes that are observed in the > 1 Hz frequency band are called tectonic tremor or low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) and those in the 0.01–0.10 Hz band are called very-low-frequency earthquakes (VLFEs).

Slab pull, slab weakening, and their relation to deep intra-slab seismicity [PDF]
, 2005 Subduction zone seismicity is highly variable. Great earthquakes occur at few subduction zones around the world, with significant variation in size and frequency of deep events. Interactions between overriding and subducting plates and slab pull strength
