Since Paleogene, this region has experienced= the dextral oblique transpression between the Eurasia and North American (Okhotsk) Plates and the subsequent collision between the Northeast Japan Arc and the Kuril Arc due to the oblique subduction of the Pacifc Plate. This earthquake occurred beneath the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the Hidaka Collision zone developed by the collision process, and is characterized by its deep focal depth (~ 37 km) and complicated rupture process. The reanalyses of controlled source seismic data collected in the 1998–2000 Hokkaido Transect Project revealed the detailed structure beneath the fold-and-thrust belt, and its relationship with the aftershock activity of this earthquake. Our refection processing using the CRS/MDRS stacking method imaged for the frst time the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures of the Northeast Japan Arc underthrust beneath a thick (~ 5–10 km) sedimentary package of the fold-and-thrust belt. Based on the analysis of the refraction/wide- angle refection data, the total thickness of this Northeast Japan Arc crust is only 16–22 km.

    Repeated Occurrence of Surface-Sediment Remobilization

    Ikehara et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2020) 72:114 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-020-01241-y FULL PAPER Open Access Repeated occurrence of surface-sediment remobilization along the landward slope of the Japan Trench by great earthquakes Ken Ikehara1* , Kazuko Usami1,2 and Toshiya Kanamatsu3 Abstract Deep-sea turbidites have been utilized to understand the history of past large earthquakes. Surface-sediment remo- bilization is considered to be a mechanism for the initiation of earthquake-induced turbidity currents, based on the studies on the event deposits formed by recent great earthquakes, such as the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake, although submarine slope failure has been considered to be a major contributor. However, it is still unclear that the surface-sed- iment remobilization has actually occurred in past great earthquakes. We examined a sediment core recovered from the mid-slope terrace (MST) along the Japan Trench to fnd evidence of past earthquake-induced surface-sediment remobilization. Coupled radiocarbon dates for turbidite and hemipelagic muds in the core show small age diferences (less than a few 100 years) and suggest that initiation of turbidity currents caused by the earthquake-induced surface- sediment remobilization has occurred repeatedly during the last 2300 years. On the other hand, two turbidites among the examined 11 turbidites show relatively large age diferences (~ 5000 years) that indicate the occurrence of large sea-foor disturbances such as submarine slope failures. The sedimentological (i.e., of diatomaceous nature and high sedimentation rates) and tectonic (i.e., continuous subsidence and isolated small basins) settings of the MST sedimentary basins provide favorable conditions for the repeated initiation of turbidity currents and for deposition and preservation of fne-grained turbidites.

    27. Sedimentary Facies Evolution of the Nankai Forearc and Its Implications for the Growth of the Shimanto Accretionary Prism1

    Hill, I.A., Taira, A., Firth, J.V., et al., 1993 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 131 27. SEDIMENTARY FACIES EVOLUTION OF THE NANKAI FOREARC AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GROWTH OF THE SHIMANTO ACCRETIONARY PRISM1 Asahiko Taira2 and Juichiro Ashi2 ABSTRACT A combination of Deep Sea Drilling Project-Ocean Drilling Program drilling results and site survey data in the Shikoku Basin, Nankai Trough, and Nankai landward slope region provides a unique opportunity to investigate the sedimentary facies evolution in the clastic-dominated accretionary forearc. Here, we consider the facies evolution model based on the drilling results, IZANAGI sidescan images, and seismic reflection profiles. The sedimentary facies model of the Nankai forearc proposed in this paper is composed of two parts: the ocean floor-trench- lower slope sedimentary facies evolution and the upper slope to forearc basin sedimentary facies evolution. The former begins with basal pelagic and hemipelagic mudstones overlain by a coarsening upward sequence of trench turbidites which are, in turn, covered by slope apron slumps and lower slope hemipelagic mudstone. This assemblage is progressively faulted and folded into a consolidated accretionary prism that is then fractured and faulted in the upper slope region. Massive failure of the seafloor in the upper slope region produces olistostrome deposits that contain lithified blocks derived from older accretionary prism dispersed in a mud matrix. The contact between the older accretionary prism and the upper slope olistostrome is a submarine unconformity that is the first stratigraphic evidence for the exhumation of an older prism to the seafloor. The olistostrome beds are then overlain by forearc basin-plain mudstone and turbidites which are progressively covered by coarsening-upward delta-shelf sequences.

    Paleozoic Evolution of Pre-Variscan Terranes: from Gondwana to the Variscan Collision

    Geological Society of America Special Paper 364 2002 Paleozoic evolution of pre-Variscan terranes: From Gondwana to the Variscan collision Gérard M. Stamp×i Institut de Géologie et Paléontologie, Université de Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Jürgen F. von Raumer Institut de Minéralogie et Pétrographie, Université de Fribourg, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland Gilles D. Borel Institut de Géologie et Paléontologie, Université de Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland ABSTRACT The well-known Variscan basement areas of Europe contain relic terranes with a pre-Variscan evolution testifying to their peri-Gondwanan origin (e.g., relics of Neo- proterozoic volcanic arcs, and subsequent stages of accretionary wedges, backarc rift- ing, and spreading). The evolution of these terranes was guided by the diachronous subduction of the proto-Tethys oceanic ridge under different segments of the Gond- wana margin. This subduction triggered the emplacement of magmatic bodies and the formation of backarc rifts, some of which became major oceanic realms (Rheic, paleo- Tethys). Consequently, the drifting of Avalonia was followed, after the Silurian and a short Ordovician orogenic event, by the drifting of Armorica and Alpine domains, ac- companied by the opening of the paleo-Tethys. The slab rollback of the Rheic ocean is viewed as the major mechanism for the drifting of the European Variscan terranes. This, in turn, generated a large slab pull force responsible for the opening of major rift zones within the passive Eurasian margin. Therefore, the µrst Middle Devonian Variscan orogenic event is viewed as the result of a collision between terranes detached from Gondwana (grouped as the Hun superterrane) and terranes detached from Eurasia.

    EPS-ELSI Winter School “Evolution of Earth & Life” (EEL2019) Field Excursion Guide Convergent Plate Boundary & Geology of Island Arc in Tanzawa area, Japan Excursion Leader: Yuichiro Ueno Guidebook Editor: Tomohiko Sato, Shigenori Maruyama Dec. 2nd – Dec. 3rd, 2019 1 1. Introduction Japan is a unique place to study plate tectonics because the island located at the convergent plate boundary. In order to understand the collisional orogeny and crustal evolution, we plan to visit Tanzawa Mountain in the Izu-Hakone region, where we can observe how the Philippine Sea Plate subducted below the island arc in the field. Through the geology of the convergent plate boundary, we are able to consider how the continental crust evolve through the history of the Earth. 2. Geology of Japan Four plates meet around Japan island arc along the subduction zone The subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Philippine Sea Plate creates a Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc, where many volcanic islands are distributed. The Philippine Sea Plate is now moving 3 ~ 5 cm/year to the north and is subducted under Eurasian and North American Plates, which create a main Japan island (Honshu Arc). The famous Mt. Fuji is located near the triple junction of the three plates, where the oceanic islands collided with the Honshu Arc at Izu-Hakone region (Red box in Fig.2). Also, the back arc basins (Japan Sea and Okinawa Trough) are spreading since about 20 million years ago. Fig. 1. Plate boundaries around Japan.

Gibbons Kojima It has been 25 years since publication of the most recent English language summary of the geology of Japan. This book offers an up-to- W. & date comprehensive guide for those interested both in the geology of Gibbons The Geology of Japan the Japanese islands and geological processes of island arcs in general. It contains contributions from over 70 different eminent researchers in their fields and is divided into 12 main chapters: Geological Evolution of Japan: an Overview ; • The • Regional Tectonostratigraphy (consisting of seven separate sections giving full coverage both to the different geographic regions and different geological ages); Geology of Japan • Ophiolites and Ultramafic Units ; • Granitic Rocks; • Miocene–Holocene Volcanism; • Neogene–Quaternary Sedimentary Successions; • Deep Seismic Structure; • Crustal Earthquakes; • Coastal Geology and Oceanography; • Mineral and Hydrocarbon Resources; • Engineering Geology; • Field Geotraverse, Geoparks and Geomuseums (with information on travelling by public transport to see some of the great geological sites of Japan). Each chapter includes the unique contribution of an extensive aid to the written forms of geology-related names in Japanese. Front cover: Red Fuji, also known as south wind, clear sky, from the 36 views of Mt Fuji by Hokusai (1760–1849). Image courtesy of S. Wallis.

    New View of the Stratigraphy of the Tetori Group in Central Japan

    Memoir of the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum 14: 25–61 (2015) REVIEW © by the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum NEW VIEW OF THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE TETORI GROUP IN CENTRAL JAPAN Shin-ichi SANO Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum Terao, Muroko, Katsuyama, Fukui 911-8601, Japan ABSTRACT The stratigraphy of the Tetori Group (sensu lato) and other Early Cretaceous strata in the Hakusan Region in the Hida Belt, northern Central Japan, is reviewed based on recent advances in ammonoid biostratigraphy, U-Pb age determination of zircons using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry with laser ablation sampling (LA-ICPMS), recognition of marine influence, and climatic change inferred from the occurrences of thermophilic plants and pedogenetic calcareous nodules. Four depositional stages (DS) are recognized: DS1 (Late Bathonian–Middle Oxfordian)̶mainly marine strata characterized by the occurrences of ammonoids; DS2 (Berriasian–Late Hauterivian)̶mainly brackish strata characterized by the occurrences of Myrene (Mesocorbicula) tetoriensis and Tetoria yokoyamai; DS3 (Barremian– Aptian)̶fluvial strata characterized by the occurrence of abundant quartzose gravels and freshwater molluscs, such as Trigonioides, Plicatounio and Nippononaia; DS4 (Albian–Cenomanian)̶volcanic/plutonic rocks which unconformably covered or intruded into the Tetori Group. I here propose new interpretation that 1) the Tetori Group (s.l.) in the Hakusan Region in the Hida Belt is divided into Middle–Late Jurassic Kuzuryu Group (corresponding to DS1) and unconformably overlying Early Cretaceous Tetori Group (sensu stricto) (corresponding to DS2–3); and 2) the Tetori Group (s.l.) in other areas is separated from the Tetori Group (s.s.), and divided into the Late Jurassic strata of the Kuzuryu Group (corresponding to the upper part of the same group in the Hakusan Region) and the Early Cretaceous Jinzu Group in the Jinzu Region in the Hida Belt, and the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Managawa Group in the Hida Gaien Belt.
