The precision and accuracy of locations of hypocenters of the earthquake off Tokachi of 16 May 1968 and its aftershocks are discussed mainly based on the comparison between both data determined by JMA and USCGS.USCGS epicenters are generally on the continental side of JMA epicenters. The average distance of both JMA and USCGS epicenters of each shock is 26.4km. However there are systematic differences between the JMA-USCGS epicenter deviation of aftershocks north of the mainshock and those of aftershocks south of the mainshock. The USCGS epicenters of northern aftershocks are deviated to north-west direction from the JMA epicenter while USCGS epicenters of southern aftershocks are deviated to west direction from the JMA epicenter.Focal depths of USCGS hypocenters are a little deeper than those of JMA hypocenters. 40% of JMA hypocenters and 80% of USCGS hypocenters are located in the depth of 30-40km which correspond to the top layer of the mantle.Slight differences of b-values in the magnitude-frequency relations are observed among aftershockes in the northern area (around the epicenter of the greatest aftershock), those in the middle area (around the epicenter of the main shock) and those in the southern area (around the epicenter of the second greatest aftershock).The geophysical significance of the above results is briefly discussed.

Recent high-resolution observations of crustal movements have revealed the occurrence of slow slip events (SSEs) along the deep parts of subduction interfaces. This report reviews the possible models for SSEs using rate- and state-dependent friction laws. SSEs can be modeled under the condition close to the stability transition. The triggered SSEs can be modeled considering a conditionally unstable cell. The self-triggered SSEs can be reproduced in a region that is unstable but close to being stable. In this case, the ranges of the constitutive law parameters for reproducing SSEs are limited. Further, SSEs can also be modeled by considering the frictional property of an unstable-stable transition zone that exhibits velocity weakening at low slip velocity and velocity strengthening at high slip velocity; this model is proposed on the basis of the results obtained in an experiment using halite around an unstable-stable transition zone. By considering this frictional property, Shibazaki and Shimamoto have reproduced short-term SSEs that are similar to the observed SSEs. This friction law needs to be verified experimentally under conditions that are relevant to the fault zones of SSEs. It is theoretically expected that for slip failure processes the propagation velocity is proportional to the slip velocity. This relationship appears to hold for observed SSEs. Therefore, SSEs can be regarded as slip failure processes occurring at deep subduction plate interfaces.

We propose a new idea for the crustal movements associated with past great Nankai earthquakes in Shikoku and the surrounding region, Southwest Japan. This study makes clear that the movements are not due to the oblique subduction of the Philippine sea plate, but due to superposition of strong seismic shaking to the uppermost crust in a compressional stress state in the E-W direction. The ground of this idea is as follows: at the time of the 1707, 1854 and 1946 Nankai earthquakes the Kochi plain subsided and the Muroto and Ashizuri peninsulas uplifted, whereas old documents show that the Kochi plain did not subside at the time of the 1605 Nankai earthquake and therefore no uplifting of the peninsulas is inferred because it is based on a set of subsidence of the Kochi plain and uplifting of the Muroto peninsula appearing at the time of the 1707, 1854 and 1946 Nankai earthquakes. This is explained by the reason why the 1605 (Keicho) earthquake was not accompanied with strong shaking of the ground owing to the tsunami earthquake. Next, because the uplifted peninsulas have anticline axes of the N-S direction, from unconsistency in stress direction it is difficult to attribute the uplifting to the subduction in the NW direction of the Philippine sea plate. On the other hand, it is easily explained that the uplifting was caused by the stress in the EW direction enhanced by strong seismic shaking. Tosa bay, which spreads between the Muroto and Ashizuri peninsulas, is characterized by depression. To be able to explain this depression is not by the elastic rebound theory, but by our idea. The undulation in the forearc zone composed of anticlines (peninsulas) and wide depressions (bays), which range alternately along the Japan island arc, can not also explained by the elastic rebound theory. In addition, we consider that the compressional strain variation in the NW direction of the ground surface observed at present in Shikoku does not result from the oblique subduction in the NW direction of the Philippine sea plate, but it is recovering the overdisplacement of the ground surface caused by the coseismic movement (2-3m at the ground surface) in the SE direction of the Muroto promontory by reverse faulting of the 1946 earthquake. Moreover, this study shows that unconsistency in directions of P axes between the 1946 Nankai earthquake and mantle earthquakes presently occurring in Shikoku and its vicinity is succesfully explained by taking account of constraint of the displacement in the direction along the Japan island arc.

In order to study the seismic activity of microearthquakes in the southern part of the Neo Valley fault, an observation was carried out in 1968 from September 27 to November 2. Seven observing stations were set near the four stations of Inuyama Seismological Observatory.<br>About 400 microearthquakes were recorded during this observation, but about 50 epicenters could be determined. Their magnitudes were less than 2.<br>Microearthquakes occurred most frequently in the southwestern side of the fault, especially in the area upheaved by the Nobi earthquake of 1891. On the contrary, very few earthquakes occurred in the northeastern side. The focal depths of these shocks were very shallow.

This study reexamines the ground deformation and fault slip model of the 1945 Mikawa earthquake (<I>M</I> =6.8), central Japan. We reevaluate two geodetic data sets from the years 1886/1887 and 1955/56 that were obtained from the Geographical Survey Institute; these data sets consist of displacements calculated from the net adjustment of triangulation surveys carried out before and after the Mikawa earthquake. We remove the interseismic deformation and coseismic deformation of the 1944 Tonankai earthquake from the two unique data sets used in our analysis. Maximum coseismic horizontal displacements of over 1.4 m were detected to the west of the Fukozu fault. We estimated the coseismic slip by analyzing our data set. The geometry of the fault planes was adopted from a recent seismicity study and from the surface earthquake fault of this area. The best fit to the data is obtained from two faults along the sections running north and south of the Fukozu and Yokosuka faults. The estimated uniform-slip elastic dislocation model consists of two adjacent planes. The fault also appeared to connect the sections running north and south of the Fukozu and Yokosuka faults. Because it can suitably explain the coseismic deformation due to two earthquake source faults, the earthquake source fault is not admitted under the section for the run. The mechanism is considered to be two reverse faults with right-lateral components. The estimated slips for the two source faults are 2.5 m and 1.4 m, respectively. The pressure axis is directed along NE-SW or E-W. The total seismic moment determined from this model is 1.6 &times; 10<SUP>19</SUP> Nm, corresponding to <I>M</I><SUB>w</SUB>=6.7.

It has long been believed that a M6.1 earthquake occurred on November 14, 1831 in Saga, southwest Japan. The event relies on a single entry from note of “Tenpo Zakki,” which is a collection of miscellaneous notes between 1831 and 1844. Here we propose that the location for the earthquake is likely misinterpreted. Reexamination of the note shows that the earthquake occurred on November 13, 1831, as was recognized in 1919. The original location was thought to be in Saga because according to the note the earthquake was reported from “Hizen-no-kami” (lord of Saga). Analyses of the time it took for the news to reach Edo (Tokyo) show that the location of the earthquake is possibly not Saga, but Aizu, in northeast Japan. The note of “Tenpo Zakki” shows that the information of the event reached Edo in 5 days. However, it was impossible to deliver a letter from Saga to Edo in 5 days at that time. No description on the earthquake was found in diaries written around Saga. “Tenpo Zakki” might have mistaken “Higo-no-kami” (lord of Aizu) for “Hizen-no-kami.” This result contributes to improvement of the list of historical earthquakes for Japan.

We investigate the rupture process of Hyuga-nada earthquake of April 1, 1968 (MJMA 7.5). Applying a multiple-time window inversion scheme to teleseismic body wave data, we obtained a detailed spatio-temporal distribution of moment release. The main source parameters are: the seismic moment=2.5×1020[Nm]; the rupture area=64×48[km2]; the stress drop=3.4[MPa]; the focal depth=15[km]. The rupture consists of three major asperities: the first asperity centring about 10km south and 20km west from the hypocenter and having a maximum slip of 4.0m, the second one centring about 8km north and 5km east from the hypocenter and having a maximum slip of 3.0m, and the third one centring about 50km west from the hypocenter and having a maximum slip of 3.2m. We compared the rupture area with that of a few large events (M>6.5) subsequent to the 1968 event. Then we found that the above three asperities of 1968 event coincide with the low seismicity area in the Hyuga-nada region, and do not overlap with the source area of the subsequent large events (M>6.5). This rupture pattern and the seismicity suggest that an area of slab bending as well as fracture of the slab can behave as barriers during earthquake rupture. These barriers may control the maximum size of earthquake source in this region.

<p>In a small area off the eastern coast of Osumi Peninsula, eight events have been observed from January 2001 to March 2019, in which <i>M</i>3 to <i>M</i>4 earthquakes occurred successively in a short time, from several seconds to several minutes. Based on the waveform correlation and cluster analysis, we found three seismic patches (asperities) which generate small repeating earthquakes in this area. The arrival time differences between P and S waves of the three patches' earthquakes observed at NARU station suggested that these patches were close to each other. Furthermore, we confirmed that many earthquakes originated from these patches were included in the successive occurrences of earthquakes in this area. These results suggest that the earthquake from one of these patches affects another patch in the immediate vicinity and triggers successive occurrences of earthquakes.</p>

A precise relocation of earthquakes using data listed in the Seismological Bulletin of the Japan Meteorological Agency reveals a double-planed structure of the deep seismic zone in the whole region of the northeastern Japan arc. The two planes are nearly parallel to each other and the distance between them is from 30km to 40km. The lower seismic plane appears at depths greater than about 60km in the Tohoku District, northeastern Japan, while that appears at depths greater than about 90km in the Kanto District.Some interesting characteristics are found from focal mechanism study for large earthquakes and microearthquakes in the upper seismic plane. In the Tohoku District, the predominant fault-plane solution for earthquakes shallower than about 60km is low angle thrust faulting and that for deeper earthquakes is down dip compression. In the Kanto District, similar characteristics are found for earthquakes in the upper seismic plane, except that the depth at which the predominant focal mechanism changes is about 90km. This difference may be closely associated with the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate overriding the Pacific plate in the Kanto District.In the whole region of the northeastern Japan arc, the earthquakes in the lower seismic plane is characterized by down dip extensional fault. Down dip compressional and down dip extensional earthquakes form a pair in the double-planed deep seismic zone, since the depth at which the lower seismic plane appears is consistent with the depth at which the predominant focal mechanism changes in the upper seismic plane.The depth to the upper seismic plane just beneath the volcanic front is about 100km in the Tohoku District, whereas the depth is much deeper in the Kanto District, where the triple junction among the Philippine Sea plate, the Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate is situated.
