Paleomagnetic studies facilitate an understanding of the evolution of the Japan Arc in
Cenozoic times from the perspective of tectonic movement. The Japan Arc rifted from the …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

The apparent incompatibility of the classical" bar door" opening model of the Japan Sea
based on paleomagnetic studies and the pull-apart geometry based on the observation of …

The respective tectonic effects of back arc spreading and continental collision in Asia are
considered either as two independent processes or as closely interrelated. Extrusion …

In order to evaluate the mechanism of production of unusual high-Mg andesite (HMA)
magmas, Pb–Nd–Sr isotopic compositions were determined for HMAs and basalts from the …

The regional tectonic stress field, basin development, and crustal deformation of the NE
Japan arc in the interval between 32 Ma to the Quaternary can be synthesized based on …

Precession of planets or moons affects internal liquid layers by driving flows, instabilities and
possibly dynamos. The energy dissipated by these phenomena can influence orbital …

Tremendous progress has been made in the geological understanding of the Korean seas
with the advances in sophisticated exploration techniques, specifically in the areas of marine …

A possible mechanism for high-Mg andesite formation, including melting of subducting
sediments and subsequent melt-mantle interaction, was examined by geochemical …

Air-gun profiles delineate a large-scale strike-slip fault system along the eastern continental
margin of Korea. This system comprises two right-step** curvilinear master faults (Hupo …
