Trench and drilling investigation of the Median Tectonic Line in Shikoku, southwest Japan: implications for fault geometry

Abstract The Median Tectonic Line (MTL) is a thousand-kilometer-long fault that extends across southwest Japan. Near the Nyugawa region of Shikoku, the MTL comprises (i) a low-angle inactive terrane boundary fault (the MTLTB) that divides the Jurassic and Cretaceous geological terranes, and (ii) a s...
