摘要: [1] We carry out high-resolution three-dimensional seismic tomography of the crust and upper mantle beneath southwestern (SW) Japan using arrival-time data obtained from nationwide seismograph network. The tomographic images provide new insights into configuration Philippine Sea slab arc magmatism. results confirm existence an aseismic portion at greater depths beyond portion. is subducting aseismically down to least a depth 200 km in Chubu, 60–80 Kinki, 60 Chugoku seismically 150–200 Kyushu. In Chubu district, it shallow dip then bends downward volcanic area, whereas Kinki subhorizontally as far Sea. differences geometry between adjacent regions correlate with activity, suggesting importance on Our further imply subduction around 70 northwest Izu Peninsula. that region might have split western eastern parts separated by tear collided Pacific km.
