Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we quantified the crustal extension and shortening across the fault of Southern Sendai Plain since Miocene time. The existing seismic profile, gravity data and the result of CSAMT (Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magneto-Telluric) survey which we conducted in this study were used to understand the subsurface geological structure of the causative active fault and its western extensional structure. Based on this geological structure, we estimated the amount of the shortening. The result show that a horizontal shortening of ca. 460 m has occurred around the Southern part of Sendai Plain since Pliocene time. The extension in the Miocene was estimated to be at least 400 m.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

東北日本弧は,中新世の日本海拡大に伴って伸張変形を受けており,その後,鮮新世からは短縮変形に変化した。東北日本弧に分布する活断層は,中新世の伸張変形時に形成された正断層が,鮮新世以降に逆断層として再活動している場合も多い。本研究では,仙台平野南部の伏在活断層において地下構造を把握し,中新世の伸張量と鮮新世以降の地殻短縮量を見積もった。活断層の地下構造を把握することは,発生する地震の規模の推定や強震動の推定にも重要な情報となる。また,地質学的な時間スケールにおいて島弧地殻に蓄積される歪みを理解することは,地震発生のポテンシャルを評価することにもつながる。
