Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We estimated the differential stress in the seisimic zones beneath the Japanese Islands from the precise hypocenter locations and focal mechanism solutions in this study. We found that some active faults cannot slip unless the strength is very small there. We have developed a method to estimate accurate stress fields using P wave initial motion data and verified its effectiveness. Based on the correlation between the topography and the focal mechanism solutions and the stress rotations around the source areas after large earthquakes, we found that the differential stress in the seismic zone is less than 100 MPa, which corresponds to an extremely small frictional coefficient of about 0.1-0.3 assuming hydrostatic pore pressure. We also obtained some evidences showing that such low strength is caused by high pore pressure for earthquake swarms at least.
