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

Tsunami hazard analysis for Chinese coast from potential earthquakes in the western North Pacific
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020 China is a Pacific coastal country, adjacent to the Circum-Pacific seismic belt. The tsunami from the western North Pacific is very dangerous to China because of the short distance.

Tectono-magmatic evolution of the Philippine Sea Plate: A review
Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 The West Pacific Margin incorporates 75% of global marginal basins/back-arc basins. These basins and their adjacent trenches and island arcs constitute a huge trench-arc-basin system created by the interactions among three tectonic plates (the Pacific ...

Tsunami Risk Change Analysis for Qidong County of China Based on Land Use Classification
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Tsunamis can cause high numbers of casualties, as well as direct and indirect economic losses to coastal regions. The huge destructiveness of tsunamis requires us to study tsunami risk and its temporal change. We adopt the tsunami scenarios of the Ryukyu

Tsunami Folklore and Possible Tsunami Source on the Eastern Coast of Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013 Folklore tells of a large sea wave that struck an area of Chenggong on the eastern coast of Taiwan. This event is estimated to have occurred in the middle of the 19th century based on an oral history of the area.

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.

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2023 At the southernmost part of the Ryukyu subduction zone, six long-offset multi-channel seismic profiles were collected across three forearc basins and the southern Ryukyu accretionary prism during the TAIGER experiment in 2009 and the TAICRUST project in ...

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

Assessment of the peak tsunami amplitude associated with a large earthquake occurring along the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone in the region of Taiwan [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 The southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench near the island of Taiwan potentially generates tsunamigenic earthquakes with magnitudes from 7.5 to 8.7 through shallow rupture. The fault model for this potential region dips 10° northward with a rupture
