Abstract:A 7.2 Magnitude (Moment Magnitude Mw: 6.8) earthquake occurred in the south inland of Iwate prefecture at 8:43 JST on June 14, 2008. Its epicenter was about 10 km northeast of Mt. Kurikoma, an active Nasu volcanic belt composite volcano whose lava flows from several eruption centers covering underlying crumbly secondary volcaniclastic deposits. Thus, the earthquake caused over 3000 mass-wasting events in its epicentral area, encompassing the Kurikoma Volcano’s flank on the hanging side of the seismic fault. Th… Show more
