Influence of crustal lithology and the thermal state on microseismicity in the Wakayama region, southern Honshu, Japan

Influence of crustal lithology and the thermal state on microseismicity in the Wakayama region, southern Honshu, Japan

Abstract Here we investigate the influence of the lithology and thermal state of the upper crust on earthquake distributions beneath the Wakayama region, southern Honshu, Japan, to better understand the influence of crustal conditions on regional seismogenesis. The earthquakes are concentrated in th...
