Izu-Oshima volcano consists mostly of subaerially deposited volcanic products. On the sea cliff, however, the water-laid deposits are intercalated in the O_<42> (about 7, 500 yB.P.) and O_1 (about 1, 500 yB.P.) members of the Older Oshima Group. Layers of coastal gravels are observed in the Y_5-Y_1 (A.D. 1338-the present) members of the Younger Oshima Group near the present coast. These layers show imbricate structure indicating landward flow. They are interpreted as wind-transported from nearby coastal beach. These nearshore deposits were presumably resulted from the variation of the sea level in height. In the O_1 age, lagoons were formed along the coast. In the S_2 age (about A.D. 550), remarkable emergence of the shoreline occurred. After that, the island has kept subsiding gradually.
