Japan-Earthquakes & Tectonics (Educational)

  • Japan has more measurable earthquakes than any other country and has over 100 active volcanoes. These both result from Japan being wedged among four major tectonic plates. The tectonics are complicated, but in this animation we attempt to look at the basic mechanics of the region as we focus on two famous earthquakes: the 1995 Kobe (Great Hanshin) earthquake) and the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake.
    It is necessarily simplified to depict basic processes.
    We appreciate that there are many published fault-displacement models derived from fitting different sets of observations (teleseismic waveforms, tsunami heights, GPS displacements, seafloor deformation, etc.).
    There is considerable disagreement between those fault-displacement models. For a variety of reasons, the animation group decided to illustrate the fault-displacement model of Jiang and Simons, 2016, Journal of Geophysical research, 10.1002/2016JB013760.

    As a geotechnical engineer living in a seismically active zone, I found this presentation very interesting and informative. A nice balance between accessibility and technical content. Well done!

    What is impressive is no matter what...Japan bounce back all time there attitude to get up from a fall is outstanding....love from 🇮🇳

    100.000 earthquakes per year in Japan, wow, that's is a record !! 😮😱〽️🇯🇵

    This is an excellent video I will surely use in a Hazards course I am teaching this fall. I like it so much that I hate to nitpick, but I do have a comment that the info on the Tohoku maximum slip (at about time 7:30 to 7:50 in the video) doesn't match the consensus view of what happened during the earthquake. Specifically, numerous studies show that the peak slip was larger and much closer to the trench and probably didn't decrease much up-dip (I can provide some refs if you like; see many pubs by e.g. Kelin Wang for overview).

      Thank you for your compliments, and for your comments.

      Fair enough, and thanks for the reply. The difference between the Jiang and Simons result shown here and that of Sun et al. (2017) will make a great teaching tool for debate when using this in classes. Once again, I think this is a very informative video; thanks for making it!

    Upwards of 30,000 lost and 6 communities still haven't been rebuilt. Its going to be 1 big bugger to get the west Coast of NA up to these types of building codes and towns moved inland.
