| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study estimated the S-wave attenuation structure in Nankai subduction zone with correction terms for apparent attenuation due to multiple wave scattering. Beppu-Shimabara rift zone shows high attenuation as with other volcanic areas, but this area has a unique vertical variation of random inhomogeneity. This result suggests that temperature beneath this rift zone would be similar with other volcanic areas, but inclusions of magma or volcanic rocks would be poorer than other volcanic areas. Near the top of the subducting Philippine Sea plate, moderately high attenuation zones were imaged over the Nankai subduction zone. Some of them are coincident with non-volcanic tremor zones. We discussed possible relations among random inhomogeneity, attenuation and tremor triggering in terms of fluid oscillation, and pointed out some conditions for dynamic triggering of tremors.
