The starting age of the basin subsidence is considered to be after the violent volcanisms that formed the Lower Pleistocene Enrei Formation (Fm) distributed in and around the basin.

The results of K­Ar dating are presented for two samples of andesite lavas of the Enrei Fm exposed on the northeastward-dipping slope of the SW Suwa Basin. One gives an age of 2.03 ± 0.19 Ma and the other an age of 1.51 ± 0.16 Ma. The former age corresponds closely to the oldest age of the Enrei Fm to the NE Suwa Basin, and suggests that the coeval and widespread initial volcanism at both sides of the basin occurred during the early Early Pleistocene (Gelasian) before the basin subsidence. The latter age closely corresponds to the peak periods of volcanic activity of the Enrei Fm. These lines of evidence suggest that the basin started to subside after 1.5 Ma, and that the position of basal unconformity, stratigraphy and geologic structures of the Enrei Fm in the SW Suwa Basin need to be re-examined.","PeriodicalId":45817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography-Chigaku Zasshi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48088704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are preserved because of large-magnitude uplifts ascertained from occurrences of outstanding late Pleistocene and Holocene coral terraces. In addition, because Holocene sand dunes occur close to those of Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 ( MIS 3 ) , the island is ideal for examining the environments of the formation of sand dunes, which were constructed under different climatic and sea-level conditions. Distributional and depositional features of sand dunes are clarified, and their chronology is constructed on the basis of tephrochronology, 14 C dating, and chronological relationships of the sand dunes with marine terraces of known age. The environments of sand-dune formation on Kikaijima are examined in relation to climatic and sea-level records within regional and global contexts. Nine tephra layers are recognized. These include two widespread tephras, Kikai-Akahoya tephra ( K-Ah ) and Aira-Tn tephra ( AT ) . The other seven tephras, consisting of fine ash layers, are newly recognized and named Kikaijima-1 tephra ( Kj-1 ) to Kikaijima-7 tephra ( Kj-7 ) , of which the upper six, lying between K-Ah and AT, are aged from 13,000 to 30,000 cal BP. Holocene sand dunes began to form at c . 8,000 cal BP before the culmination Island is mainly related to the occurrence of coastal sandy beaches during sea-level high stands. Although Holocene sand dunes are related to Holocene high stand, those of MIS 3 are related to high stands during cycles of sea-level fluctuations in MIS 3. The longitudinal landform of the sand dunes recognized in the late MIS 3 suggests that the prevailing winds in MIS 3 were stronger than in the Holocene.

Furthermore, much of our understanding of all of the oceanic crust comes from ophiolites, which are largely attributed to supra-subduction zone environments. Therefore, studying the back-arc basin lower crust and uppermost mantle is arguably important, contribut-ing to the overall geology of the oceanic crust. The Godzilla Megamullion, located in the extinct Parece Vela Basin in the Philippine Sea, is the largest known oceanic core complex. It is an elongated massif with a distinct corrugated surface consisting of several individual domal highs. It records the secular evolution of the mantle melting beneath a dying back-arc spreading ridge along the length of the megamullion surface. Furthermore, strong heterogeneity in the P-wave velocity structure is observed along the length of the megamullion, with a normal oceanic crust-like structure in the distal ( i.e., near breakaway ) to medial parts, and a shallow high-velocity body in the proximal ( i.e, near termination ) part. The Godzilla Megamullion should arguably be the best place in the world to study the architecture of the back-arc basin lower crust and uppermost mantle, and the actual crust/mantle boundary through the International Ocean Discovery Program ( IODP ) . By locating three 400- to 800 m-deep drill holes along its length, key data are obtained to better understand and constrain the composition of the back-arc basin oceanic crust and uppermost mantle, as well as the architecture of oceanic core complexes. The extinct backarc basin environment at the Godzilla Megamullion provides a further unique opportunity to explore life in an oceanic crust after extinction of its hydrothermal activity.","PeriodicalId":45817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography-Chigaku Zasshi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46994826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its importance, the size, volume, and formation rate of the OJP are not yet well constrained. The maximum extent of OJP-related volcanism may be even greater than currently estimated, because volcanological studies indicate that long lava flows (or sills) from the OJP may have reached the adjacent Nauru, East Mariana, and possibly Pigafetta basins.

In 1989, ODP Legs 125 and 126 successfully recovered cores from the Izu ­ Bonin forearc area and the backarc rift basin ( Sumisu Rift ) . These cores provided the first opportunity to investigate the early volcanic and tectonic history of the Izu ­ Bonin arc in the Eocene and Oligocene. They also provided the earliest volcanic products of the Sumisu Rift, which is highly vesicular basalt. Drilling for the Japanese continental shelf survey was conducted in the most reararc side of the Izu ­ Bonin arc. The cores from the reararc seamounts reveal that the across-arc variations in magma chemistry and age of volcanism observed along the reararc seamount chains continue further toward the spreading center of the Shikoku Basin. The Kinan Escarpment appears to be the westernmost ( i.e., most reararc ) location where a slab-derived geochemical signature can be recognized in the erupted magma. Three IODP drilling expeditions have been undertaken in the Izu ­ Bonin arc region. Exp. 350 drilled in a small basin between the reararc seamount chains. Slightly over 1.8 km of sediment of mostly volcanic origin was drilled. This core preserves a continuous magmatic record in the reararc area since cessation of spreading of the Shikoku Basin, and provides critical information about how the reararc volcanoes were reestablished after the middle Miocene. Exp. 351 and 352 aimed to study subduction initiation processes. Exp. 352 was conducted in the Izu ­ Bonin forearc. It recovered forearc basalt ( FAB ) and boninites associated with the seafloor spreading at subduction initiation. Based on their ages and geochemical characteristics, fast-and short-lived seafloor spreading is estimated to have occurred. Exp. 351 recovered ocean crust, which is interpreted to be the basement of the arc, from the Amami Sankaku Basin between the Kyushu ­ Palau Ridge ( ancient Izu ­ Bonin arc ) and the Daito Ridge ( Mesozoic remnant arc ) . This basement is similar in age and geochemistry to FAB, which implies the Izu ­ Bonin arc basement is ocean crust produced following the onset of subduction.

Below the layered gabbro at the bottom of the crustal section is the Moho Transition Zone ( MTZ ) , which is mainly composed of dunite with small amounts of gabbroic sills.

Bathymetric profiles across ridges are repro-duced well by changing M . However, what determines the value of M has not been explained. Fast-spread oceanic crust comprises dense sheet flows underlain by thin dense sheeted dikes compared to magmas. This density structure increases the magma extruded, allowing the crust to be extended solely by magmatic accretion; whereas, the intermediate-spread crust consists of less dense pillow lavas, yielding an apparent level of neutral buoyancy that traps magma to develop the sheeted dikes below. Consequently, the crust extends through dike intrusions in the lower levels and faults at shallow levels. Thus, the density structure of the oceanic crust determines the style of plate spreading, or the value of M . Because the spreading rate or the strain rate does not vary within the same ridge segment, intrasegment variations in crustal structure depend directly on the supply rate of magma, or the value of M , which decreases with the thin-ning of extrusive layers and the thickening of sheeted dikes along the Galapagos Spreading Center and the East Pacific Rise. This tendency is supported by the crustal architecture observed in holes 504B and 1256D, the Hess Deep and the Oman Ophiolite. The density structure of the upper crust can be discerned by the proportion of sheet flows among extrusive rocks on the ridge axis, which is drastically reduced with spreading rates from 10 cm/a to 7 cm/a. This spreading rate interval coincides with the change in axial magma chamber depth. Throughout this rate interval, the key observation is whether the style of crustal extension from magmatic accre-tion-dominant details ) .

The 1256D crust on the East Pacific Rise spread at an ultrafast rate of 22 cm/a comprises high-density sheet flows, yielding almost the same lithostatic and magmastatic pressures. The 504B crust on the Costa Rica Rift spread at an intermedi-ate rate of 6.6 cm/a has an apparent level of neutral buoyancy ( LNB ) , where lithostatic pressure is lower than magmastatic pressure.
