“…The surface extension of this fault plane is in a good agreement with the surface trace of the Chihshang fault in the southern Longitudinal Valley, a plate suture separating the Central Range of the Eurasian plate to the west and the Coastal Range of the Philippine Sea plate to the east (Teng and Wang, 1981;Page and Suppe, 1981;Angelier et al, 1997Angelier et al, , 2000.…”

The M W 6.5 Chengkung earthquake occurred in eastern Taiwan at 04:38 UTC on 10 December 2003. The GPS data from eighteen continuously recording stations (CORS) and 86 campaign-surveyed stations (CSS) collected 18 days to 9 months before and 6 days to 4 months after the main shock are utilized to analyze the coseismic and postseismic deformation associated with the Chengkung earthquake. The earthquake resulted from rupturing of the Chihshang fault, a 25-km-long segment of the Longitudinal Valley Fault (LVF). The coseismic horizontal displacements in the hanging wall showed a fan-shape distribution with vectors towards the west. On the other hand, the movements of the revealed a mirror fan-shape with relatively lesser amounts of displacement. The largest coseismic displacement, which reached 126 mm and 263 mm in the horizontal and vertical components, occurred near the epicenter area in the hanging wall. The largest postseismic displacements in 109 days, which approached 59 mm and 68 mm in the horizontal and vertical components, occurred near the surface trace of the Chihshang fault (TAPO) and near the epicenter area (CHEN), respectively. The stations near the Chihshang fault indicated a more significant postseismic displacement than coseismic one.

“…The first one is the depth reached by the slope failure and its propagation toward the basin margins. Mixing of the rocks derived from the basin margins with those sediments in the basin is a common process in the formation of mass-transport bodies (Page and Suppe, 1981;Callot et al, 2008;Ogata et al, 2012c). During deposition, these "exotic" rocks were extraformational, extrabasinal, older and much more consolidated than the basin sediments.…”

“…The ETO is within the Lichi mélange of the Coastal Range and consists of large blocks and boulders of fossiliferous sea-floor sediments, pillow basalt with glassy margins, mafic dykes, plagiogranite, gabbro, pegmatite, and serpentinized peridotite (Liou et al 1977;Liou 1979;Liou and Ernst 1979;Suppe and Liou 1979;Page and Suppe 1981;Suppe et al 1981;Jahn 1986;Chung and Sun 1992). The idealized stratigraphy of the ETO is shown in Fig.…”

The East Taiwan Ophiolite (ETO) is a fragment of the eastern-most South China Sea that was accreted to the Eurasian margin during the Pliocene and is a member of the Western Pacific and Cordilleran belt ophiolite group. Ophiolites from the Western Pacific and Cordilleran belt are typically subduction-related (i.e., supra-subduction or volcanic-arc) but the ETO is compositionally, isotopically and mineralogically similar to subduction-unrelated ophiolites. The primary melt compositions of ETO basaltic rocks were calculated and range from high-Mg basalt to picrite (i.e., MgO = 10 to 14 wt%). The mantle potential temperature (T P ) estimates are within the range of ambient mantle (1300 -1400°C) and other mid-ocean ridge ophiolites (i.e., Macquarie Island and Masirah) indicating that it is consistent with a mid-ocean ridge setting. Mantle potential temperature estimates for rocks from a mantle-plume-type ophiolite (i.e., 1620 -1630°C) are anomalously high whereas rocks from supra-subduction zone ophiolites show a wider range that extends from ambient (i.e., Troodos and Semail) T P to very high (i.e., Betts Cove and Bay of Islands) T P .
