Structural history of northern Koshiki Islands and northern Okinawa Trough

Journal of the Sedimentological Society of Japan, 2007
Structural evidences in the Koshiki Islands and northern Okiwana trough are very important to understand the opening history of the back arc basin. Based on the fault orientation, fault character, cross-cutting relationship and moved direction, NNE-trending fault system of each area is identified as the rifting phase deformation of the Northern Okinawa-

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Formation Age of the Ryukyu Arc-Okinawa Trough System.

Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1991
The Ryukyu Arc-Okinawa Trough system is one of several arc-backarc systems alongthe margin of the western Pacific and east Asia. Recent results of seismic refractionand reflection studies have revealed that the origin of the trough is the continental rifting, and the trough is in a state of the active rifting stage (e. g.

Spatial Heterogeneity of the Microbial Community in the Surface Sediments in the Okinawa Trough

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Okinawa Trough (OT) has been a focus of scientific research for many years due to the presence of vibrant hydrothermal and cold seep activity within its narrow basin.

Origin of the Magnetic Anomalies in the Southern Okinawa Trough.

Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity, 1992
Two-dimensional magnetic modeling was performed to investigate the magnetic structure beneath the southern Okinawa Trough. The E-W elongating magnetic anomalies accompanied with the geologic segment of the Yaeyama Graben are explained by a simple model assuming of the seismic layers of 3.6-6.4km/s with a uniform normal magnetization of 2.5A/m as the ...

Slab horizontal subduction and slab tearing beneath East Asia [PDF]

, 2019
The present‐day architecture of subducted slabs in the mantle as inferred from seismic tomography is a record of plate tectonics through geological time. The unusually large slab that lies nearly horizontally above the 660‐km mantle discontinuity beneath

Marine self-potential survey for exploring seafloor hydrothermal ore deposits [PDF]

, 2017
We conducted a self-potential survey at an active hydrothermal field, the Izena hole in the mid-Okinawa Trough, southern Japan. This field is known to contain Kuroko-type massive sulphide deposits.
