Paleogeographic maps of the Japanese Islands: Plate tectonic synthesis from 750 Ma to the present

Shigenori Maruyama, Yukio Isozaki, Gaku Kimura et al. · 1 Mar 1997

Abstract A series of paleogeographic maps of the Japanese Islands, from their birth at ca 750–700 Ma to the present, is newly compiled from the viewpoint of plate tectonics. This series consists of 20 maps that cover all of the major events in the geotectonic evolution of Japan. These include the birth of Japan at…

The seismogenic zone of subduction thrust faults

R. D. Hyndman, Makoto Yamano, D. A. Oleskevich · 1 Sep 1997

Abstract Subduction thrust faults generate earthquakes over a limited depth range. They are aseismic in their seaward updip portions and landward downdip of a critical point. The seaward shallow aseismic zone, commonly beneath accreted sediments, may be a consequence of unconsolidated sediments, especially stable‐sliding smectite clays. Such clays are dehydrated and the fault may become…

The Heilongjiang Group: A Jurassic accretionary complex in the Jiamusi Massif at the western Pacific margin of northeastern China

Fu‐Yuan Wu, Jin‐Hui Yang, Ching‐Hua Lo et al. · 22 Feb 2007

Abstract The tectonic setting of the Eastern Asian continental margin in the Jurassic is highly controversial. In the current study, we have selected the Heilongjiang complex located at the western margin of the Jiamusi Massif in northeastern China for geochronological investigation to address this issue. Field and petrographic investigations indicate that the Heilongjiang complex is…

A new approach to develop the <scp>R</scp>aman carbonaceous material geothermometer for low‐grade metamorphism using peak width

Yui Kouketsu, Tomoyuki Mizukami, Hiroshi Mori et al. · 13 Nov 2013

Abstract The R aman spectra of carbonaceous material ( CM ) from 19 metasediment samples collected from six widely separated areas of S outhwest J apan and metamorphosed at temperatures from 165 to 655°C show systematic changes with metamorphic temperature that can be classified into four types: low‐grade CM ( c. 150–280° C ), medium‐grade…

Pacific‐type orogeny revisited: Miyashiro‐type orogeny proposed

Shigenori Maruyama · 1 Mar 1997

Abstract The concept of Pacific‐type orogeny is revised, based on an assessment of geologic data collected from the Japanese Islands during the past 25 years. The formation of a passive continental margin after the birth of the Pacific Ocean at 600 Ma was followed by the initiation of oceanic plate subduction at 450 Ma. Since…
