Abstract:Although blind normal faults are common in subduction environments,
their rheology, kinematics and interaction with the upper crust are
poorly constrained. A month-long shallow normal faulting sequence in the
Ibaraki-Fukushima prefectural border (IFPB), northeast Japan, which
followed the M9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake
(TOE) and culminated in the M6.7 Iwaki
earthquake, provides a window into megathrust-to-normal fault
interaction. Stress change calculations indicate that direct triggering
by the TOE co- and post-s… Show more
