Back Arc Extension in the Okinawa Trough [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1987 The Okinawa Trough, lying to the east of China, is a back arc basin formed by extension within continental lithosphere behind the Ryukyu trench‐arc system. Middle to late Miocene uplift, associated with normal faulting of the initially adjacent Ryukyu nonvolcanic arc and the Taiwan‐Sinzi folded belt, corresponds to the first rifting phase.

Vent Fauna in the Okinawa Trough [PDF]
, 2014 In deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields, faunal distribution is associated with geochemical environments generated by hydrothermal vent activity. The Okinawa Trough is located between the Eurasian Continent and the Ryukyu Arc, and is characterized by sediment-associated fauna associated with vents.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2019 The Okinawa Trough, to the southwest of Kyusyu, Japan, is an active backarc basin of the Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc–trench system caused by the Philippine Sea plate subduction. Unlike other backarc basins around Japan, the Okinawa Trough, ~ 1000 km

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Herein, the temporal variability of the deep overflow through the Kerama Gap between the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea is investigated based on observational data combined with reanalysis data obtained during 2004–2011. The observations and model

Characterization of water masses around the southern Ryukyu Islands based on isotopic compositions
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 We investigated the water-mass structure on the Okinawa Trough and Pacific sides of the southern Ryukyu Island Arc (Yonaguni, Iriomote, and Ishigaki subareas) using the Nd isotope composition (143Nd/144Nd ratios; expressed as εNd values) of benthic ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 Key points The Sr isotopic ratios of hydrothermal fluids from the Okinawa Trough are exceptionally high. The enrichment of 87Sr at Yonaguni Knoll IV cannot be explained without the influence of terrestrial clay minerals in sediments.
