| Research Abstract |
The Beppu-Shimabara graben is an active region since the Quaternary volcanoes distribute and earthquakes occur frequently along this graben.
In order to make clear the electrical conductivity structure beneath the Beppu-Shimabara graben, the geomagnetic depth sounding (GDS) and the magnetotelluric (MT) observations including the ocean bottom electro-inagrietoineter observation or the shallow sea-floor of Ariake Sea, were made in the area along this graben. Induction vectors for shorter period than about 5 minutes obtained in the Shimabara Peninsula indicate that the high conductivity layer (HCL) under the ground possibly runs SSW to NNE in direction through- Tachibana Bay where is just the west of the Shimabara Peninsula. This unpiles that the HCL is not under the Beppu-Shimabara graben. Possibly the graben in the electrical structure is constructed by several IICLs which run across the graben as echelon faults.
