On the biannually repeating slow‐slip events at the Ryukyu Trench, southwestern Japan [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2008 Global positioning system data show that about 20 slow‐slip events occurred during 1997–2007 in the southwestern part of the Ryukyu Arc, Japan, where large interplate thrust earthquakes are not known to have occurred in spite of relatively fast plate convergence.

Paleotsunami research along the Nankai Trough and Ryukyu Trench subduction zones – Current achievements and future challenges [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 Abstract Located near Japan's most densely populated and industrially active region, the Nankai Trough subduction zone has long been highlighted as a high-risk area for damaging earthquakes and tsunamis. In contrast, less attention has been paid the adjacent Ryukyu Trench because historical and geological records are scarce.

Aseismic crustal movement in southern Ryukyu Trench, southwest Japan [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 Anomalous crustal deformation following the Mw = 7.1, March 31, 2002, Hualien earthquake was observed over 5 years using the global positioning system (GPS) network in the south Ryukyu Islands. The analysis showed an afterslip event at a depth of 30 km on the subducting Philippine Sea plate. The magnitude of the cumulative moment reached 7.4.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017 The Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc-trench system, southwest of Japan, is formed by the subduction of the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate. Among the subduction zones surrounding the Japan Islands, the Ryukyu arc-trench system is unique in that its backarc ...

Low-frequency earthquakes along the Ryukyu Islands triggered by teleseismic earthquakes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Tremors and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs), which occur in the plate interface, can provide useful information about the state of aseismic stress transfer in mega-earthquake fault zones.

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018 In this study, which was conducted to investigate present-day geological deformations occurring off the central Ryukyu Arc along the Ryukyu Trench (Okinawa-jima) in the vicinity of Japan, we obtained and examined dense, high-resolution, 2D grid (high ...

Back-arc opening and the mode of subduction [PDF]
, 1979 Trench-arc systems (subduction zones) can be classified into two types depending on whether or not actively opening back-arc basins are associated with them.

Missing western half of the Pacific Plate: Geochemical nature of the Izanagi-Pacific Ridge interaction with a stationary boundary between the Indian and Pacific mantles [PDF]
, 2015 The source mantle of the basaltic ocean crust on the western half of the Pacific Plate was examined using Pb–Nd–Hf isotopes. The results showed that the subducted Izanagi–Pacific Ridge (IPR) formed from both Pacific (180–∼80 Ma) and Indian (∼80–70 Ma ...
