In this study, magnetic susceptibility measurements, whole-rock chemical composition and Nd-Sr isotope analyses, and zircon U-Pb dating were conducted on these granitic bodies. The surveyed granitic rocks are classified as I- to A-type granites, are of the ilmenite series, and show clearly negative Eu anomalies, which suggest they formed under reducing conditions. Nd-Sr isotope ratios indicate continental crust material involvement in the formation of these granite bodies. The magnetic and geochemical signatures are similar to those of granite bodies in southwestern Cambodia. The study area is thus considered an extensional area of southwestern Cambodia, corresponding to the Sukhothai Zone (the Chanthaburi-Kampong Chhnang Zone).

The formation environment of the Fe–Mn nodules is considered closely related to the pedogenetic process of Shimajiri–Mahji because the mineral assemblage of the nodules is similar to that of the surrounding soil. There are two competing hypotheses about the formation environment of the Fe–Mn nodules: marine or terrestrial. In this study, the chemical composition of the Fe–Mn nodules was analyzed to determine their origin. The low Ni and Cu contents and the positive Ce and negative Y anomalies of the Fe–Mn nodules are inconsistent with the geochemical features associated with formation in the deep ocean and shallow seas or lakes, respectively. In contrast, the geochemical features of the Fe–Mn nodules correspond to formation in terrestrial soil, especially in terra rossa. An elemental map of the Mn/Fe ratio and computed tomography results demonstrated that the Fe–Mn nodules have a layered structure, which indicates a temporal change in the redox potential of Shimajiri–Mahji. This may be attributed to changes in the soil moisture owing to the variable intensity of the East Asian monsoon and climate change. A new discrimination diagram based on Al/Na and Co/Rb ratios was developed for classifying the formation environments of Fe–Mn nodules, which may help improve understanding of the formation history of soils and sediments containing them.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590056022000482/pdfft?md5=6211e126e744b3441d05159f8051e0ec&pid=1-s2.0-S2590056022000482-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46566767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It assesses the maximum tsunami hazard characteristics with a focus on the zoning of tsunami hazard related to the human ability to stand within the inundation areas. Additionally, probabilities of buildings damage and small vessels loss are presented using fragility functions adapted from published studies of the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami. Two worst-case credible tsunamigenic scenarios from Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) were selected: 7.2Mw and 8.8Mw earthquake scenarios from western and eastern segments of the MSZ, respectively. A validated nonlinear shallow water numerical code with nested grids is used to simulate the tsunamis for each scenario over a 15 m-resolution grid for the Qurayyat region. Our results show that 8.8Mw earthquake corresponds to the maximum probable tsunami scenario posing the most severe threat. This scenario causes tsunami waves reaching 4.9 m and leads to a maximum runup height, maximum flow depth, and maximum inundation of 5.2 m, 3.8 m and 1.5 km, respectively. Furthermore, the tsunami hazard zoning for human stability suggests five hazard levels, ranging from “very low” to “very high” and the flooded buildings are classified into six damage levels, ranging from “minor” to “washed away”. The probabilities of buildings damage are high for minor and moderate damage levels. The vessels are classified based on their weight and location of motor. Obtained probabilities of vessels loss show that the outboard motor vessels would suffer greatest loss than inboard and the heavier ones.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259005602200024X/pdfft?md5=6a55a239940b4af3ee76958c24825a78&pid=1-s2.0-S259005602200024X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54647878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
