Outline of Research at the Start

日本のような沈み込み帯で,海洋プレートは海溝を通じて地球内部に沈み込む。約1.3億年前に作られた低温の太平洋プレートが沈み込む東北日本に比べ,約2千年前と若く高温のフィリピン海プレートが沈み込む西南日本域では,火山前線より海溝側の地域(前弧)において沈み込んだ海洋プレート(スラブ)からの「脱水」が激しく起こる。この西南日本と東北日本におけるスラブ脱水の様式の違いを,地表で採取する湧水の複数種の元素の同位体指標から明らかにすることを試みる。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Light Li isotope compositions indicative of fluid ascending from the Earth's deep interior were frequently observed near major fault zones such as the Arima-Takatsuki Fault Zone and the Median Tectonic Line in the southwest Japan foreland arc. Additionally, light Li isotope compositions similar to those found in Arima hot spring water were detected in Okayama Prefecture, which lacks major faults. On the other hand, it has become clear that the Li isotope ratios of deep-seated fluid components are heavier in the northeastern Japan forearc compared to the southwestern Japan forearc. The lighter Li isotope composition of deep-seated fluid components in the southwestern Japan forearc compared to the northeastern Japan forearc suggests that the young Philippine Sea Plate subducting beneath the southwestern Japan is at high temperatures, leading to dehydration in the forearc region and a high flux of slab-derived fluids.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

2024年1月に発生したM7.6の能登半島地震は我々に地下深部の水が大地震発生に関わることを改めて知らしめた。これまでも沈み込むプレート年代が大きく異なる東北日本と西南日本ではスラブ脱水の様式が全く異なる可能性が指摘されていた。本研究では実際に地表で湧出する温泉水を含む湧水試料の化学情報から東北日本と西南日本の前弧域下での脱水様式が大きく異なる証拠を得ることに成功した。得られた知見は地震発生予測のみならず原子力発電において緊縛の課題である放射性廃棄物の地層処理にとっても極めて重要なものとなる。
