Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Near-trench slip during large earthquakes is an important factor in the generation of destructive tsunamis. The amplitude of the slip is related not only to stress drop and dynamic mechanisms but also to properties of the fault rocks. Here, we constrain the near-trench slip potential of the plate-boundary fault of the Japan Trench and the megasplay fault of the Nankai Trough by integrating laboratory-derived properties of actual fault samples and dynamic rupture simulations. The Nankai Trough fault materials are sandy and have higher permeability and porosity than the clayey materials of the Japan Trench. However, dynamic weakening by thermal pressurization is greater at the Nankai Trough, because of the higher friction and higher interstitial fluid content. Dynamic earthquake rupture simulations reproduced the large slip near the trench observed in the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake and suggest that a Nankai Trough earthquake has a strong potential to produce a much larger slip.
