Based on tide-gauge records of the USCGS and Japanese data, the magnitude and source area of the Aleutian-Alaska tsunamis during the past 42 years are investigated. According to the author's method based on the attenuation of wave-height with distance, the tsunami magnitude (Imamura-Iida scale) of the 1946 Aleutian and 1964 Alaska tsunamis are estimated to be m=3 and 4 respectively. The magnitudes of the 1957 and 1965 Aleutian tsunamis are m=3. According to the empirical formula, the tsunami magnitude is well correlated with seismic moment, but the seismic moment for the 1946 earthquake is considerably small. Its seismic moment may be 1.5 × 1029 dyne-cm judging from the tsunami magnitude. The source area of the 1946 Aleutian tsunami which inferred from an inverse refraction diagram is especially different from the aftershock area. The source area lies on the steep continental slope extending about 400 km between the Unalaska and Unimak Islands. The source area of the 1957 Aleutian tsunami is the largest The length of tsunami source is 900 km which agrees with the aftershockarea. The western part of the source area overlaps about 200 km of the source area of the 1965 tsunami. In the geographic distribution of the tsunami source in the Aleutian-Alaska region, a remarkable gap of the tsunami source is found between the Unimak and Shumagin Islands. Tnis significant segment of 300-400 km may be considered a region of relatively high tsunami risk having the magnitude m=2-3.最近50年の間に,アリューシャン・アラスカ海域におこった5個の巨大地震に伴った津波について,米国のCGS記録に日本の観測データも加え,津波の規模と波源域を調べ,この海域の津波特性を検討した.まず,各津波の規模(m:今村・飯田スケール)を,震央から島弧にそった沿岸の波高データをもとに,筆者の方法で判定すれば,ハワイに大被害を与えた1946年津波はm=3と格付けされる.この地震のマグニチュードはM=7.4とみなされているが,津波データによれば地震モーメントM0は1.5×1029ダイン・cmと見積もれる.一方これとは対照的に,地震規模が上回った1938年のアラスカ半島沖地震(M=8.3)の津波は,m=2と推定される.そのほか1964年アラスカ津波はm=4,1957年・1965年のアリューシャン津波はm=3と見積もれ,それぞれ地震モーメントに見合った津波であった.各地で観測された津波の伝播時間をもとに,逆伝播図から波源域を推定すると,1964年アラスカ津波の波源域の長さは700kmで,余震域と大体合致する.しかし,1946年津波の波源域は余震域と著しく異なり,ウナラスカ島からウニマク島に至る長さ400kmと推定される.1957年津波の波源域は,余震域とほぼ合致して900kmにもなり,そのほかの津波も日本近海の津波と比べて,波源域は数倍も長い.1964年アラスカ津波では40分の周期が卓越したのに対し,1946年・1957年・1965年津波の周期は10~20分と短かく,波源域が海溝寄りにあったことを暗示している.解析の結果,この50年の間に,各波源域はアッツ島沖からアラスカに至る海域に,島弧にそって並んで分布しているが,アラスカ半島ぞいのウニマク島からシュマーギン島に至る400kmの間に津波の空白域が見出せる.これは,近い将来,この区間にm=2~3クラスの津波発生の可能性が大きいことを考えさせる.

In order to find a practical method to assess forthcoming activity of aftershocks, an attempt was made to predict a plausible range of the number of major aftershocks of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake of September 20 (UTC;Ms=7.7). Although a method of predicting the probability of aftershocks had been proposed, assuming that parameters in the modified Omori formula would not change during the period of prediction, such an assumption might sometimes be invalid at the time of the especially large aftershocks. For this reason, a range of the number of aftershocks was experimentally discussed between September 22 and November 21 based on the 5-95% or the 0-90% points of the Poisson distribution. As a result, 11 cases were successful among 13 trials, suggesting that a prediction of the range of the number of aftershocks will be available for practical use, at least to some extent.1999年9月20日(世界時)に発生した台湾集集地震について,想定した期間にある大きさ以上の余震が何回起こるか,試験的な予測を試みた.予測が当たる確率を上げるためには適当な幅を考える必要があるが,ここでは90%くらいの確度を想定して,ポアソン分布の5%および95%点を予測数の上下限の幅として考えた.ただし,下限値が0に減少したときには,ポアソン分布の0~90%点をとれば十分かもしれない.また,期待値が5以下のときはその1/2~2倍くらい,期待値が20~30のときはその1/1.5~1.5倍くらいの範囲をとると,ある程度近似できる(その際,下限値を求めるときは小数点以下を切り捨てる).観測された余震のデータを改良大森公式にあてはめてその係数を定めれば,任意の期間に起こる余震数の期待値を求めることができる.これをもとに予測回数の幅を推測するが,期待値に誤差が見込まれるときは,それに応じて予測の幅を広げる必要が生じる.今回の台湾の余震活動では, 9月22日~11月21日までの2ヵ月間,初めは1日ごと,その後は1週間ごとにマグニチュード5.0以上の余震数を予測した.合計13回の予測の結果をみると, 11回が予測幅の範囲内に収まり, 2回が予測幅をそれぞれ一つ超過した.地震発生直後に入手できる地震データは不完全な場合が多く,具体的に予測の作業を行うときは,それによる不確かさも考慮しなければならない.このような難しさもあるが,今回の試行では, 85%程度の成功率を得た.どのくらい活発な余震活動がこれから先に見込まれるか,本稿のような方法によってある程度の目安が得られれば,それなりに役に立つのではないかと思われる.なお,期待値が与えられたときに,ポアソン分布の5~95%幅が具体的にどのような値をとるかを表の形で表し,また,参考までにその値を算出する近似式を示した.

The Rikuu earthquake (M = 7. 2) occurred in the Mahiru Mountains in Tohoku district on 31 August 1896. Associated with the earthquake, reverse faults appeared on the surface along the western and the eastern feet of the Mahiru Mountains (Table 1 and Fig. 1), which are known as Senya and Kawafune earthquake faults (YAMASAKI, 1896), respectively. This was the largest on-land surface faulting of reverse fault type among events in historical time in Japan. These surface faults were re-studied.

In this paper the crustal structure of the South Fossa Magna region, where a Tertiary geosyncline is developed, is inferred geologically under some assumptions. The method here adopted consists of two steps; 1) preparation of the stratigraphic profiles in every stage of geological devolopment of the region, and 2) modification of the stratigraphic profiles by the subsequent deformation of the crust. 1) Preparation of the stratigraphic profiles. The early Miocene Misaka and the middle to late Miocene Fujikawa series are the main conponents of the nearsurface crust of the region. They vary in thickness in different geological provinces in the region. Their geologic and tectonic maps are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The pre-Misaka sediments are supposed geologically to have been deposited on the oceanic crust of transitional crust between the main Japanese Islands and the Pacific. These data and assumptions as well as those listed in A) of Table 2 are used for the stratigraphic profiles of the region (Fig. 3). 2) Modification of the stratigraphic profiles. After the deposition of the Misaka series, the following events took place: i) crustal warping with deposition of the Fujikawa series in the downwarping parts and with erosion of the Misaka series in the upwarping parts, ii) intrusions of quartz diorite stocks of the uplifted parts, and iii) formation of the crystalline schist along the southern limb of the Tanzawa upwarping part. (Boulders of the quartz diorite and of the crystalline schists appear in the upper part of the Fujikawa series of the subsiding belts). Until the end of the deposition of the Fujikawa series, the crustal surface was de- formed in a wavy contour as shown in curve s-s of Fig. 4. From the observations of the Tanzawa schist belt, we can assume that the wavy deformation of the crust mentioned above is due to shear fold with the shear plane inclined northward with angle about 70°. Then we get curve b-b in Fig. 4 as the bottom of the crust. Besides, it is assumed that the quartz diorite magma originated due to melting of the crust and the Mohodiscontinuity represents a boundary between two different materials (the basaltic and ultramafic), and that the volume change of the crust through the magmatic process which brought the quartz diorite stocks and through other tectonic process is negligible. Thus, we get Fig. 5 (b) as the crustal structure of the South Fossa Magna at the end of the Fujikawa time. Fig. 5(b) is here proposed as the present status of the region. If the method and data used in this paper are adequate, it is suggested that present Moho-discontinuity lies between the -15 to -20 km level with increasing depth northward. The Moho-discontinuity shows a fairly strong relief (10 km or more), whose troughs and swells correspond to the subsided belts and uplifted belts originated in Miocene. It is also suggested from Figs. 3 and 5 that the quartz diorite magma was generated from the lower crust in 15 to 20 km depth in the orogenetic epoch. The heat sufficient to melt the crust at such a shallow level might have been supplied from the mantle below.

松代地震の進展につれて松代町東部に地震断層の性格をもつた横ずれ地割れ群があらわれたので,その地割れ付近および周辺山地の地質を調べた. 1.調査地域内には,変位量数km以上の既存の大断層は存在しない.とくに今回あらわれた横ずれ地割れ群に沿つては,変位量数m程度の既存の小断層も見出せなかつた. 2.今回の地震であらわれた個々の地割れに沿つても,また,地割れ地帯に沿つても,最近地質時代に同様の変位が生じた形跡(地形的証拠)は見出されない. 3.鮮新世中期以降変位したことのない地質断層(滝本東断層)が地割れ帯に近接して存在するが,それに沿つては今回の地震で地割れは1つもあらわれなかった. 4.既存の断層に沿つて,断層性の変位が生じたたしかな例が1つだけみつかつたが,その断層は主な地割れ地帯からはなれているし,断層面のむきも変位のむきも特異である.松代地震における上記1.と2.の事実は,濃尾・北伊豆などの大地震に伴なつた地震断層の場合と全く異なつている.その意味で松代地震では従来いわれたような「古傷(大地質断層)の再活動」という表現は妥当でない.このような特異性と,松代地震が群発型であることを組合せると,大きな活断層が発達しない所(地質区)では群発地震の方が非群発型大地震よりもおこり易いらしいといえる.上記3の事実は,たとえ大断層があつても最近地質時代(この場合鮮新世中期以後)に変位を増加させた形跡のない断層は,今回のような地震の発生やそれに伴う変位に関与しないらしいという例になる.上記4の地震断層は,松代地震による直接の地震断層ではなくて,その周辺に生じた地盤の調整的変位の結果または地塊縁辺部での強い地震動の結果,地塊境界で生じた二次的変位(いわば間接的地震断層)であると思われる.

Geology of the main seismic area in and around the town of Matsushiro, the northern part of Nagano Prefecture, central Japan, is investigated by field and literature surveys for the better understanding of the earthquake-swarm which is now taking place. The Matsushiro earthquake-swarm started at the beginning of August, 1965. Since then, the local seismicity has become more active with occasional rise and fall.

Owase located on the east side of Kii Peninsula has been hit by many tsunamis. Sources of most tsunamis were off Tokaido along the Nankai Trough. The 1960 Chile tsunami that propagated across the Pacific Ocean also hit Owase City. There remain even now traces of the inundated level on many houses in Owase caused by the 1944 Tonankai and 1960 Chile tsunamis. Based on these traces, the inundation heights of the two tsunamis run-up on land were surveyed, using the automatic level from Nov. 4 to 7, 1980. The relation between the geographical distribution of the inundation heights and the damage to houses was investigated. The results of the present surveys are as follows: 1) The inundation heights of the 1944 Tonankai tsunami at the harbor were 5.0-5.5 m above M.S.L. Ground about 3.0 m above M.S.L. was inundated. The inundated area stretched along the Kita River. The water level decreased in height as it moved inland. The topography of the ground controls the damage to houses. Fifty percent of the ordinary Japanese wooden type houses were damaged when the water reached 1.5 m above the ground. From the inclination of the water surface along the Kita River, the mean water velocity is calculated as 3.5 m/sec. 2) The inundation heights of the 1960 Chile tsunami at the harbor were 3.0-3.5 m above M.S.L. Although the water reached 1.0-1.5 m above the ground, hardly any houses were washed away. The traces of the inundated level into land are nearly flat, suggesting that the velocity of the incident flow was small. 3) Based on old documents, the inundation height of the Ansei Tokai tsunami (Dec. 23, 1854) is estimated as 6.5 m above M. S. L. The heignt is 0.7-1 m higher than that of the 1944 Tonankai tsunami. Ground above 4 m high was inundated.

A tsunami accompanying the Niigata Earthquake of June 16, 1964 is described on the basis of mareograms collected in the vicinity of the source area and a field survey, carriedout immediately after the earthquake by the members of the Earthquake Research Institute, along the coast of the Japan Sea from Akita to Naoetsu. The generating area of the tsunami, estimated by means of an inverse travel chart of the wave front based on the arrival time of the initial motion of the tsunami to the coastal station, is located in the sea on the continental shelf, extending about 90km in an elongated shape roughly parallel to the coast line from the northern part of Niigata Prefecture to Yamagata Prefecture.

For the tsunamis which were generated off the Pacific coast of Japan during the last 76 years (1894-1969), the tsunami travel times observed at 12 tide stations are listed in Table 1. Features of the frequency distribution of travel time for NE Japan are different from those for SW Japan, because of the difference of the geographic characteristics of the tsunami source (Fig. 1). In the former region, a large frequency is found in the range of 30~40min, in contrast to 10~20m in the latter region. Starting from 19 tide stations indicated in Fig. 2, the inverse refraction diagrams of long waves are drawn on bathymetric charts (Figs. 3-12). Wave fronts are shown at 2min intervals. The uncertainty of the diagrams may be within ±2min for most of the regions considered.

1. There are many theoretical studies on the generation of gravity waves due to an initial surface elevation or to a surface impulse. As to model experiments, however, very few studies have been made on this subject. Recent investigations of after-shocks and the propagation of tsunami waves have revealed that most of the generating area of a tsunami seems to be strongly elliptical in shape. The present experiment has been undertaken to clarify experimentally the characteristics of waves generated by a sudden dislocation of the bottom of elliptic shape. The experiment was carried out in a model basin (25m×40m×0.6m), in Chiba Prefecture, belonging to the Earthquake Research Institute. (Fig. 19). 2. The wave generator is an iron box, 94 cm × 56 cm × 4 cm in size, placed at the bottom level of the basin. It has an elliptic opening on the top covered with a rubber membrane, 2 mm thick, 90 cm × 30 cm (Fig. 20). This elliptic rubber membrane is made to swell out suddenly by compressed air as shown in Figs. 1 and 21. The wave-height gauge is of the parallel-wire type, consisting of 2 stainless steel triangular plates (Fig. 2). The sensitivity of the recorder is such that a deflection of 10mm on the record corresponds to 5.0mm in the water level change. No remarkable effect of capillarity exists in the records. The wave-heights were recorded by a 12-channel portable optical oscillograph. Eleven wave-height gauges were used, the remaining channel of the oscillograph being reserved for recording the motion of the center of the rubber membrane. The oscillograph chart was driven at a speed of either 10 or 30 mm/sec. 3. Records of waves due to the upheaval of the membrane were obtained at every foot from the center of the origin up to 4m and for a water depth of 5.0 cm and 17.3 cm. Details of experimental runs are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 5. A record in Fig. 6 shows the displacement of the center of the rubber membrane when the paper speed is 100 mm/sec. The time of the displacement was fixed at about 1/40 sec for all runs in the experiments. Figs. 7 and 8 show the final forms of the rubber membrane when expanded under certain pressures. Forms may be considered to be nearly a part of a paraboloid. 4. Figs. 22 and 23 are wave-height records for the water depths of 5.0 cm and 17.3 cm respectively. In these records, Nos. 1, 2 and 7 show wave-heights, respectively, just above the center of the origin and at the ends of the short and long axes of the elliptic rubber membrane. No. 12 is a record of the displacement of the centre of the origin. The front of a wave train is propagated roughly with the velocity √gh, except in the immediate neighbourhood of the origin, where a considerably larger velocity is observed. (Fig. 9) Wave trains have a dispersive character as shown in Fig. 11. 5. The initial surface elevation of water above the origin is about half of the displacement of the bottom itself. (Fig. 12). The ratio of the wave-heights at the ends of the long and short axes of the origin area is one-third, but for the positions distant from the origin, this ratio decreases. This result is interesting because the height ratio coincides with the length ratio of the elliptical axes (Fig. 13). The amplitude of an initial crest seems to decrease as r-0.5 and r-0.74 when the depths are 5.0cm and 17.3cm respectively (Fig. 14). Energy of the long-wave can be expressed as follows: E∝rη2L r: distance, η: wave-height, L: length of wave. Then we have EB/EA=(ηB/ηA)2 LB/LA EA, ηA and LA are energy, wave-height and wave length respectively along the long axis. EB, ηB and LB are corresponding quantities along the short axis. At the elliptic margin of the origin we have ηb/ηa = 3, Lb/La = 0.42, therefore Eb/Ea = 3.8, in the case of a water depth of 5 cm. For the distances 1m ≧ r ≧ 4m ηB/ηA = 1.8, LB/LA = 0.40, EB/EA = 1.3 Fig. 16 shows the azimuthal distribution of energy obtained by Run 8. The relation between the wave-length of the waves emitted into a certain direction and the radius of the ellipse in that direction seems to indicate that these two lengths are roughly proportional in the case of shallow water. (Fig. 17).
