“…1000 m) to a sublittoral (<100 m) depositional environment during the Early Pleistocene (Matoba 1984). This large-scale shallowing of the depositional depth cannot be explained simply by the eustatic fall in sea level (about 100 m) but probably also reflects the uplift of northeastern Honshu Island with intensified compression (Sato 1994;Nakajima et al 2006), which occurred between 3.5 and 1.7 Ma (Sato et al 2012). Figure 3 shows schematically the lithofacies in a deep-sea core obtained during ODP Leg 127 (Tada 1994) and their correlations with typical on-land sections obtained in various districts of Japan.…”

“…The Japan Basin is underlain by an oceanic-type crust, dated at around 24-17 Ma at the basaltic basement at ODP site 795, whereas the Yamato Basin, which is younger (21-18 Ma), is unlikely to be an oceanic-type crust Kaneoka et al 1992). The tectonic stress changed to compression after 3.5 Ma, causing the uplift of northeast Japan (e.g., Nakajima et al 2006). In the southwestern Japan Sea, a tectonic event, such as intra-arc folding under N-S compressive stress, resulted in the closure of the Tsushima Strait during the Late Miocene, and the attenuation of the N-S compression in southwest Japan seems to have been related to the reopening of the Tsushima Strait in the Late Pliocene (Itoh et al 1997).…”

Many micropaleontological studies based on data from on-land sections, oil wells, and deep-sea drilling cores have provided important information about environmental changes in the Japan Sea that are related to the global climate and the local tectonics of the Japanese Islands. Here, major changes in the microfossil assemblages during the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene are reviewed. Late Pliocene (3.5-2.7 Ma) surface-water assemblages were characterized mainly by cold-temperate planktonic flora and fauna (nannofossils, diatoms, radiolarians, and planktonic foraminifera), suggesting that nutrient-rich North Pacific surface waters entered the Japan Sea via northern straits. The common occurrence of Pacific-type deep-water radiolarians during this period also suggests that deep water from the North Pacific entered the Japan Sea via the northern straits, indicating a sill depth >500 m. A weak warm-water influence is recognized along the Japanese coast, suggesting a small inflow of warm water via a southern strait. Nannofossil and sublittoral ostracod assemblages record an abrupt cooling event at 2.75 Ma that correlates with the onset of the Northern Hemisphere glaciation. Subsequently, cold intermediate-and deep-water assemblages of ostracods and radiolarians increased in abundance, suggesting active ventilation and the formation of the Japan Sea Proper Water, associated with a strengthened winter monsoon. Pacific-type deep-water radiolarians also disappeared around 2.75 Ma, which is attributed to the intermittent occurrence of deep anoxic environments and limited migration from the North Pacific, resulting from the near-closure or shallowing of the northern strait by a eustatic fall in sea level and tectonic uplift of northeastern Japan. A notable reduction in primary productivity from 2.3 to 1.3 Ma also suggests that the nutrient supply from the North Pacific was restricted by the near-closure of the northern strait. An increase in the abundance of subtropical surface fauna suggests that the inflow of the Tsushima Warm Current into the Japan Sea via a southern strait began at 1.7 Ma. The opening of the southern strait may have occurred after the subsidence of southwestern Japan.

“…The three major evolutionary periods of the NE Japan arc can be further subdivided into 13 stages (Table 1 and Fig. 3) based on modes of volcanism, tectonic events and the inferred regional stress field (Ohguchi et al 1989;Sato 1994;Yoshida et al 1995;Nakajima et al 2006c;Yoshida 2001Yoshida , 2009. Figure 3 shows the migration of the position of the volcanic front in the NE Japan arc over the past 60 myr, where the age of each volcanic event is plotted against the distance from the Quaternary volcanic front (QVF).…”

Evolution of late Cenozoic magmatism and the crust–mantle structure in the NE Japan Arc

Abstract:We review the evolution of late Cenozoic magmatism in the NE Japan arc, and examine the relationship between the magmatism and the crust-mantle structure. Recent studies reveal secular changes in the mode of magmatic activity, the magma plumbing system, erupted volumes and magmatic composition associated with the evolution of crust-mantle structures related to the tectonic evolution of the arc. The evolution of Cenozoic magmatism in the arc can be divided into three periods: the continental margin (66-21 Ma), the back-arc basin (21-13.5 Ma) and the island-arc period (13.5-0 Ma). Magmatic evolution in the back-arc basin and the island-arc periods appears to be related to the 2D to 3D change in the convection pattern of the mantle wedge related to the asthenosphere upwelling and subsequent cooling of the mantle. Geodynamic changes in the mantle caused back-arc basin basalt eruptions during the back-arc basin opening (basalt phase) followed by crustal heating and re-melting, which generated many felsic plutons and calderas (rhyolite/granite phase) in the early stage of the island-arc period. This was followed by crustal cooling and strong compression, which ensured vent connections and mixing between deeper mafic and shallower felsic magmas, erupting large volumes of Quaternary andesites (andesite phase).Gold Open Access: This article is published under the terms of the CC-BY 3.0 license.The NE Japan arc is a typical island arc associated with a cold subduction zone. It is one of the most well-known island arcs on Earth and provides a useful model for our understanding of how subduction zones produce magmas, including andesites. The NE Japan arc is related to the westward
