Moho Geometry of the Okinawa Trough Based on Gravity Inversion and Its Implications on the Crustal Nature and Tectonic Evolution

The Okinawa Trough (OT) is an incipient back-arc basin, but its crustal nature is still controversial. Gravity inversion along with sediment and lithospheric mantle density modeling are used to map the regional Moho depth and crustal thickness variations of the OT and its adjacent areas. The gravity...
