| Research Abstract |
The process of earthquake rupture propagation within a seismogenic zone is inherently complex at all scales, but a lack of adequate geologic data inhibits any detailed investigations into the actual process of rupture and slip. Fault-related pseudotachylytes found as simple veins or injected networks in fault zones are widely considered to record "fossil" earthquakes, i.e. events of seismic slip along faults within brittle to semi-ductile and ductile regimes. Pseudotachylyte is one of only a few materials that record the seismic nature of ancient faults from the brittle to ductile regimes. This study presents some examples of the coexistence of C-Pt and M-Pt generated in the same shear zone in the brittle-ductile regimes from shallow-deep crust.
During this study period, there are 3 large earthquake occurred : Chi-Chi (Taiwan) earthquake, Totori-ken Seibu earthquake, and Central Kunlun (China) earthquake. We also carried out the field investigations to understand the relationship between the seismic fault, active fault, and seismogenic structures.
