摘要: Abstract We determine the trace element stratigraphy of Site C0019, drilled during Japan Fast Trench Drilling Project (JFAST) International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 343, to illuminate structure plate boundary following Tohoku-Oki earthquake 2011. The stratigraphic units at JFAST site are compared undeformed Western Pacific sediments from two reference sites (Ocean (ODP) 1149 and Deep Sea (DSDP) 436). fingerprints in these sedimentary can be correlated individual samples. At site, we find that accretionary wedge downgoing core composed primarily Holocene Eocene sediments. There several age reversals gaps within sequence, consistent with multiple faults bottom 15 m core. Our results point candidate could have slipped 2011 earthquake, addition pelagic clay layer has been proposed as main decollement fault.
