Outline of Final Research Achievements

Inland normal faulting earthquake swarm was triggered in Iwaki area, southeastern Fukushima Prefecture, by the 11 March 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake. The Fukushima-ken Hamadori earthquake (M 7.0) of 11 April 2011 was the largest earthquake with surface ruptures along the Yunodake and Itozawa faults. Trenching study revealed that the penultimate event on the Itozawa fault occurred sometime between 12,500 and 17,000 yBP. The recurrence interval of the surface faulting on the Itozawa fault is much longer than that of the huge mega-thrust earthquake off Tohoku region. In addition to the faults that ruptured in 2011, there are other possibly active normal faults such as the Futatsuya and Akai faults. Geomorphic mapping and trenching study suggest that the Futatsuya fault may be late-Quaternary active fault capable of producing an M7-class earthquake.
