Warping of the slopes of the Taga and Yugawara volcanoes (lower Pleistocene) caused subsidence of the Tanna and Tasiro basins and at the same time elevation of the area between Kuro-dake and Nirayama. Later, this district was affected by the Tanna fault. The block on the western side of the fault was displaced about 1 km horizontally southward for the greater part of the fault line, and was elevated about 100 meters or more in its southern part, relatively to the block on its east. The fault displacement that occurred at the time of the earthquake of 1930 is similar in character to the above-mentioned displacement that occurred in geological times. The fault displacement itself is not the sole cause of the origin of the Tanna basin. This basin was formed chiefly through down-warping of the volcanic slope. As a result of the fault displacement, the topography of the basin became somewhat more complex than it had been before.

It is mentioned in several earthquake catalogues of historical earthquakes that two earthquakes occurred in May, 1685 and on October 3, 1686 in the Toyohashi region, central Japan. We have recently found historical documents recording the latter earthquake in the Toyohashi region where previous studies located the epicenter of the 1686 earthquake without documents. Our analysis of the documents suggests that the 1685 earthquake did not occur. The damage recorded in the historical documents on the 1686 earthquake was large in villages on the Pacific side of the Toyohashi region. According to this evidence we consider that the epicenter of the 1686 earthquake may be located near the Pacific coast to the south of the town of Toyohashi. This large earthquake, the magnitude of which is estimated to be about 7, occurred 21 years before the great Hoei earthquake of October 28, 1707 (M=8.4). In the eastern part of Aichi prefecture, including the Toyohashi region and the offshore region of the Atsumi peninsula, moderate earthquakes have recently occurred. It is possible that the 1686 earthquake was a seismic precursor to the great 1707 earthquake. The eastern part of Aichi prefecture and the offshore region of the Atsumi peninsula in Aichi prefecture may be regions where we should carefully observe seismic activity, and other geophysical and geochemical phenomena.

The relation between Mk and MJ MJ=0.5Mk+4.35 is obtained by the method of least squares, using data from 1926 to 1943. It is shown that the relation can also be applied to earthquakes between 1885-1925. However, for earthquakes before 1885, the relation seems to hold for only large earthquakes with magnitude M(=0.5 Mk+4.85) larger than 8.0. MJ of the great Kanto earthquake of 1923 is given as 7.83 from the seismograms recorded at 3 Japanese stations.

地震断層モデルを波源とする津波数値実験が,東海道沖においても有用であることは,1944年東南海津波の例によって認められた.ここでは数値実験によって,1854年安政東海津波,1707年宝永津波,1605年慶長津波,1498年明応津波の波源断層モデルのパラメータを求めた.いずれも東海道に問題を限って議論される.この中,安政,宝永津波については,かなり信頼度の高いモデルが確定された.しかし慶長,明応津波については,史料の乏しいことなどもあって,信頼度が低いことは否めない.これらの津波の特徴を比較すると,地域によっては明応津波が最も高く,災害予測の面から見落すことのできない津波であると考えられる.また局地モデルによる清水港の陸上遡上計算の結果,防波堤,埋立地などの港湾工事が,津波の高さを軽減するのにかなり効果を持っていることがわかった.また津波危険度の局地性についても,計算上の結果が得られた.

Oshima Volcano is a basaltic, insular stratovolcano with a summit caldera within which lies an active cone Mihara-yama. Izu- Oshima island is situated on the northern part of a volcanic chain extending from central Honshu to Marianas. Oshima Volcano consists an essential part of Izu-Oshima island which is the largest of the seven Izu-islands, being 92km2 in area and 22.5km3 in volume above sea-level. Volcanic products of the volcano were studied stratigraphically. The method and results of the study are summarized and discussed in this paper. A group of erupted material, including lava-flows, scoria- andash-falls, which successively accumulated without any weatheringbreak is called a member in this paper. A member is the basic stratigraphic unit which is proved to be the product of a singleeruptive cycle. Within a member, there is a definite succession oferupted material, scoria-falls→lava-flows→alternation of ash-falls in ascending order. The time needed for the deposition of amember is considered to be 10 years or less from an examinationof the latest two records of major eruption(1777~1792 and 1684~1690). The time needed for the deposition of the basal scoria of amember is far shorter than that for the deposition of the alternating ash-falls. This is evidenced partly by the examination of historical documents and partly by the simple elliptic shape of the distribution of the basal scoria. Eruptive activity represented bya member may be a continuous process in which the magma in the central conduit rises with explosive eruptions of scoria, overflows and then gradually falls with an ejection of ash formany years. Oshima Volcano is composed of more than a hundred members. The youngest twelve members are lumped into the Younger Oshima Group, with which this paper is chiefly concerned. Dates of the deposition of the twelve members are inferred bythe correlation with historical documents and excavated fragmentalpottery remains and by radiocarbon measurements. As a result, the Younger Oshima Group is found to consist of the deposits during the last 1500 years or so, and the deposition of each member, in other words .major eruption, to have taken place periodically with an interval of about 135±50 years. The volume of individual members is calculated to range from 0.1 to 0.7km3. The volume of the Younger Oshima Group is estimated to be 3.6km3, of which only 0.7km3 is now accumulated on the slope of the main cone. The rest is the caldera fill (ca. 2.2km3) and the deposits outside the island. The explosion index is calculated to be, about 60 for the Younger Oshima Group. Thermal energy transported by the Younger Oshima Group attains to the order of 1×1026 erg and the rate of energy release is 8.7~6.0×1024 erg/100 years. More than forty parasitic volcanoes are distributed within two narrow fracture zones. They are monogenetic, that is, the entire erupted material of each is incorporated within a single member. The summit caldera was formed after the deposition of the twelveth member(S2) from the surface and prior to that of the tenth member(N4), or some fourteen centuries ago. The volume of the twelveth and the eleventh member(S2 and S1), which are considered to have deposited just before the caldera formation, is estimated to be 0.4km3 i. e. one-eighth of the volume of the decapitated summit(3.1km3). These are mainly steam explosion breccias and ash-falls with accretionary lapilli. This will indicate that the summit was engulfed associated with intense explosions. The actual course of the engulfment is inferred to be like the eruption of Kilauea in 1924, after a consideration of the similarity of the sequence of events for the both activities. Recent eruptions of Oshima Volcano after the last major activity(1777~1792, the product of which is the uppermost member Y1), are very different in nature from those represented by members. Recent eruptions are more effusive(explosion index 10±), smaller in the volume of erupted material(less than 0.03km3) and have affected only the interior of the caldera or even of the crater of Mihara-yama. The rate of thermal energy release is also lower(2.7×1024 erg/100 years). Moreover, the period after the last major activity is that of repose judging from the deposits on the slope of the main cone.

The eruptive activity of Towada Volcano is documented by the tephrostratigraphic study. More than 20 eruptive episodes are described in detail with isopach maps and isograde maps of maximum pumice size, maximum lithic size, and median diameter for the individual fallout deposits. The activity of the volcano started about 200,000 years ago along the NE-SW trending line crossing the present lake Towadako and relatively small-scale volcanoes were formed. A caldera 11km×11km wide was formed as a result of several eruptive episodes during the period about 55,000 to 13,000 years ago, three of which included voluminous pyroclastic flow eruptions. The post-caldera activity occured at a rate of one eruptive episode every 1,000 to 2,000 years and a stratovolcano and two lava domes were formed in the caldera. The latest eruptive episode was dated 1,250 y B. P. by the radiocarbon method. Rocks of Towada Volcano cover a wide range from basaltic andesite to rhyodacite (SiO2 : 51-70wt.%) with phenocrysts of plagioclase, augite, hypersthene, and magnetite with occasional olivine. Horn-blende is characteristically found in the pyroclastic deposits of 13,000 years old and in some earlier deposits. Volumes, V, of two plinian deposits are determined by the crystal method : 6.7km3 for the Chuseri deposit and 2.2km3 for the Nambu deposit. Then an empirical formula, V=12.2 TS, is obtained for the practical volume estimation, where T is the thickness of an isopach and S is the area enclosed by the isopach. Application of the formula to the fallout deposits of Towada Volcano suggests that the total magma erupted during the past 55,000 years amounts to 1.5×1017g. This corresponds to the discharge rate of dense rock equivalent to 1.1km3 per thousand years. The cross-wind range, Rc, of the pyroclasts of a given size may be a good indicator of the maximum height reached by the pyroclasts in the eruption column. It is found that the Rc is relatively large for those deposits whose erupted masses are relatively large. The dispersal of a fallout deposit is also seriously affected by winds. A plausible solution of the eruption condition for the Nambu deposit is that 4mm size lithic fragments reached the maximum height of 15km in the eruption column, then they were detached from the column and displaced by winds having an average velocity of 30m/s. After a 20 min flight, they fell upon the ground 48km east of the source. Whole-deposit grain size populations are determined for the Chuseri and Nambu plinian deposits. The Chuseri population is similar to the New Zealand examples. However, the Nambu population is distinctly coarser than the others.

A tectonic geomorphological study is one of the best methods of evaluating the timing and the crustal deformation of pre-historic earthquake. To reveal the cycle of interplate earthquakes along the Sagami Trough, I investigatedthe emergedshoreline topography andthe fossilizedsessile assemblages in the Miura Peninsula andthe Boso Peninsula. The distribution pattern of coseismic vertical displacement during the 1703 Genroku Kanto Earthquake inferredfrom the height distribution of the paleo-shoreline suggests that the fault source model consists of a dual fault system of the Fault A andB. Fault A is also the source of the 1923 Taisho Kanto Earthquake. The geometry and ages of the emerged shoreline topography divided into several levels indicate that the characteristic earthquake generatedfrom Fault A has occurredabout every 400 years. One of several events, it is accompaniedwith a slip of Fault B, which has a recurrence interval of 2000-2700 years.

1985年3月3日,チリのバルパライソ沖でおきた地震(M=7.8)により,約23時間後に日本の太平洋沿岸各地の検潮所で全振幅10~30cmの津波が観測された.太平洋各地の検潮記録から判定すれば,津波マグニチュードはm=1.5と格付けされる.日本沿岸では津波の周期15分が卓越したが,最大波に60分の長周期波も含まれている.津波初動から最大波が現われた時間は,3時間と7時間前後のところがあり,3時間後に最大波を記録した1960年チリ津波の波形パターンと多少異なった.1700年以降の日本の記録によれば,チリでM8以上の巨大地震が発生して,チリ沿岸で波高が6~8mの場合,日本沿岸では1m程度の波高になり,10mをこえると日本では3m以上に達して被害をもたらした.また,ハワイでは常に日本より波高が大きい.これは,日本の津波予報を適確に判断する上で,チリおよびハワイの津波情報がきわめて重要であることを示している.
