Reappraisal of the Arc-Arc Collision in Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2009 Al though it is evident that Taiwan has been formed by the collision of the west-facing Luzon arc with the Eurasian continental mar gin, there're main a lot of enigmas in this collision. The major ones are: (1) a trans form fault presently connecting the

Characteristic Earthquake Sequences near Miyakojima Island, Ryukyu Arc, Japan
Zisin (Journal of the Seismological Society of Japan. 2nd ser.), 2010 We found eight M 5.1 characteristic earthquakes regularly occurring since 1966 on the plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine Sea plate near Miyakojima Island, the Ryukyu Arc, Japan. The quake recurrence interval was 5.89 years in average, and the standard deviation was only 0.73 years.

Activated seismicity by strain rate change in the Yaeyama region, south Ryukyu
Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 We evaluated the long-term strain rate by using continuous global navigation satellite system data of GEONET and compared it with seismicity activation between 1996 and 2017 near Iriomote Island, south Ryukyu arc.
