摘要: [1] We analyzed the distribution of turbidity in seawater near epicenter 2011 Tohoku earthquake (Mw 9.0) as well mineral composition and grain size suspended particles shallow sediments cores from same area. One month after an area where large changes bathymetry accompanied earthquake, we observed a strong anomaly above seafloor (maximum 5 mg/L) that greatly exceeded measured several years before (average 0.59 mg/L). The were composed material similar to surface sediment cores, inferred they generated locally by disturbance due slope failure. We estimated stability on basis geophysical characteristics acceleration earthquake. Our results showed submarine landslide could have been induced very ground high 10–15 m/s2, even if layer sliding was thin. interpreted one result landsliding stirring up unconsolidated around epicentral
