    Notes: In southwest Japan, where the Philippine Sea Plate is descending beneath the Eurasian Plate at the Nankai Trough, we can observe cyclic crustal movement related to the periodic occurrence of interplate earthquakes with the time interval of 102 yr, steady uplift of the marine terraces formed by eustatic sea-level changes for the last 105 yr, and gradual evolution of the island arc-trench system through the last 4 X 106 yr. We demonstrate that these phenomena with very different characteristic time-scales can be consistently explained by a single-plate subduction model. In our model, the lithosphere-asthenosphere system is represented by a stratified viscoelastic half-space under gravity, consisting of a high-viscosity surface layer and a low-viscosity substratum, and interaction between oceanic and continental plates by steady slip motion over the whole plate boundary and its perturbation associated with the periodic occurrence of earthquakes. The effects of accretion of oceanic sediments at plate boundaries, erosion on land, and sedimentation on inner trench walls are also considered in the model. From comparison of theoretical results with observed data we obtained the following conclusions valid for young subduction zones: observed deformation cycles cannot be explained by a simple rebound model in which the effect of steady-plate subduction is ignored. The steady-plate subduction brings about steady uplift of marine terraces. The present patterns of surface topography and gravity anomalies are held nearly stable by the balance of erosion (sedimentation) rates and substantial growth rates.

    Notes: Plate subduction zones are typically characterized by the patterns of surface topography and gravity anomalies consisting of island-arc high, trench low, and outer-rise gentle high. These patterns are stable on the time scale of 106–107yr. At some subduction zones, regardless of its age, steady uplift of marine terraces formed by eustatic sea-level changes during the last 105 yr can be also observed. The stable patterns of topography and gravity anomalies and the steady uplift of marine terraces seem to contradict each other. We constructed a kinematic model which could explain the evolution process of island are-trench systems and demonstrated that this puzzle could be solved by considering the effect of accretion at plate boundaries. In our model the lithosphere-asthenosphere system is represented by a stratified visco-elastic half-space under gravity, which consists of a high-viscosity surface layer and a low-viscosity substratum. The rheological properties of both layers are assumed to be a Maxwell fluid in shear and an elastic solid in bulk. Interaction between oceanic and continental plates is represented by the steady increase of discontinuity in tangential displacement across the plate boundary. The other essential factors considered in our model are accretion of oceanic sediments at plate boundaries, erosion on land, and sedimentation on inner trench wall. We computed the evolution process of island arc-trench systems by using the kinematic model and obtained the following results: the island are-trench systems grow at nearly constant rates in the early stage of plate subduction. Therefore, at young subduction zones, we can generally expect the steady uplift of marine terraces. The stable patterns of topography and gravity anomalies are formed within several million years after the initiation of plate subduction. When the accretion process continuously proceeds at plate boundaries, these stable patterns gradually migrate seaward as a whole. In such a case, we can expect the steady uplift of marine terraces even at old subduction zones. We demonstrate that our model can consistently explain the observed surface topography, gravity anomalies, and uplift rates of marine terraces at subduction zones.

    Notes: Abstract  The Hahajima Seamount, located at the junction between the Izu–Bonin and Mariana forearc slopes, is a notable rectangular shape and consists of various kinds of rocks. An elaborated bathymetric swath mapping with geophysical measurements and dredge hauls showed the Hahajima Seamount is cut by two predominating lineaments, northeast–southwest and northwest–southeast. These lineaments are of faults based on the topographic cross-sections and a 3-D view (whale's eye view). The former lineament is parallel to the transform faults of the Parece Vela Basin, whereas the latter is parallel to the nearby transform fault on the subducting Pacific Plate. The rocks constituting the seamount are ultramafic rocks (mostly harzburgite), boninite, basalt, andesite, gabbro, breccia and sedimentary rocks, which characterize an island arc and an ocean basin. Gravity measurement and seismic reflection survey offer neither a definite gravity anomaly at the seamount nor definite internal structures beneath the seamount. A northwest–southeast-trending fault and small-scale serpentine flows were observed during submersible dives at the Hahajima Seamount. The rectangular shape, size of the seamount, various kinds of rocks and geophysical measurements strongly suggest that the Hahajima Seamount is not a simple serpentine seamount controlled by various tectonic movements, as previously believed, but a tectonic block.

    Notes: Abstract Bathymetric data from south of Hokkaido obtained during a cruise of R/V Hakuho-Maru are summarized, and their correlation with earthquake occurrence is discussed. There are structural lineations on the seaward slope of the Kuril Trench, oblique to the Kuril Trench axis and parallel to the magnetic lineations in the Pacific plate. The structural lineations comprise horst-grabens generated by normal faulting. This suggests that Cretaceous tectonic structures originating at the spreading centre affect present seismotectonics around the trench axis. The structural-magnetic relation is compared to the case of the Japan Trench. North-east of the surveyed area, there are two major fracture zones (Nosappu Fracture Zone and Iturup Fracture Zone) that divide the oceanic plate into three segments. If the fracture zones (FZ) and the zone of paleo-mechanical weakness, represented by magnetic lineations, can control the direction of normal faults at a trench, the extent of the resulting topographic roughness on the seaward slope of the trench would be different across an FZ because of the differences in ages. By studying recent large earthquakes occurring in the south Kuril region, it is shown that several main-aftershock distributions for large earthquakes in this region are bounded by the Nosappu FZ and the Iturup FZ. Two models (Barrier model and Rebound model) are presented to interpret earthquake occurrence near the south Kuril Islands. The Barrier model explains seismic boundaries seen in several examples for earthquake occurrence in the south Kuril regions. The fracture zone forming the boundary of two segments with different magnetic lineations is also the boundary of two different normal fault systems on their ocean bottom, and the difference in sea-bottom roughness between two normal fault systems should affect the seismic coupling at a plate interface. Due to the difference of seismic coupling, earthquake occurrence is controlled by an FZ and then the FZ acts as a seismic boundary (Barrier model). Existing normal faults created by plate bending of subducting oceanic plate should rebound after its subduction (Rebound model). This rebound of normal faults may cause intraplate earthquakes with a high-angle reverse-fault mechanism such as the 1994 Shikotan Earthquake. The energy released by an intraplate earthquake generated by normal-fault rebounding is not directly related to that of interplate earthquakes such as low-angle thrust earthquakes. It is a reason why large earthquakes occurred in the same region during a relatively short period.

    Notes: A kinematic model for the earthquake cycle at convergent plate boundaries has been constructed on the basis of dislocation theory. We model the lithosphere-asthenosphere system by a stratified semi-infinite medium under gravity, consisting of an elastic surface layer, an intervening layer with Maxwell viscoelasticity, and an elastic substratum. The steady motion of plate convergence is naturally represented by uniform slip at a constant rate on the upper boundary of the descending oceanic plate. The occurrence of interplate earthquakes is regarded as a perturbation of the steady state plate motion, and represented by a periodic sequence of step slips on a finite seismic zone of the plate interface. Based on dislocation theory we can show that the steady slip on the interface deeper than the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary does not contribute to surface deformation in the steady state. Accordingly the surface deformation associated with the earthquake cycle is given by the superposition of viscoelastic responses to the steady slip on the interface shallower than the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, the steady backslip on the seismic zone, and the periodic sequence of seismic slips. We have computed cyclic patterns of vertical displacements at the free surface for two representative cases, taking account of gravity effects. The patterns of vertical displacements differ notably in the latter stage of the cycle depending on whether or not the seismic zone extends through the entire thickness of the lithosphere. After the completion of one earthquake cycle, our model yields a certain amount of permanent deformation resulting from the steady plate convergence. The pattern of the permanent deformation, that is characterized by steep uplift on the continental side, sharp subsidence at the plate boundary, and gentle uplift on the oceanic side, is irrespective of the cyclic process of stress accumulation and release repeated on the seismic zone. The earthquake cycle model developed here provides a possible explanation for the formation of earthquake-origin marine terraces.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of trivalent metal ions such as lanthanoid (La , Ce, Nd , Sm , Gd , Er , Yb , Lu ) and Al ions on the morphological change and proliferation of B16 melanoma cells in culture are discussed. These metal ions induced morphological transformations and decreased growth rates at doses of 1 mM. B16 melanoma cells treated with La , Ce , Nd , Sm , and Gd showed polyhedrical spreading. Elongation of axones was dependent on the metal ions. B16 melanoma cells treated with Er , Yb , Lu , and Al showed a long slender shape. Growth rates of melanoma cells in the presence of 1 mM of metal ions (La , Ce , Nd , Sm , Gd , Yb , Al ) were significantly lower than that of control cells. Measurements of cell cycle indicated that the metal ions arrested the transitions from G /G to S state. © Rapid Science 1998
