An Active shear zone, southwest Japan; Electromagnetic geophysics and noble gas geochemistry

Umeda, Koji; Asamori, Koichi; Makuuchi, Ayumu; Kobori, Kazuo

An E-W trending discontinuity along 32 N latitude in GPS velocities across southern Kyushu Island is clearly defined, indicating a highly active left-lateral shear zone. However, there was no obvious prefaulting indication at surface in relation to the shear zone. The geophysical and geochemical observations provide significant evidence that the invasion of mantle fluids into the crust, driven by upwelling asthenosphere from the Okinawa trough, triggers off the notable left-lateral shear zone in the present-day subduction system.
