| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Geomorphic development of a convergent margin can be described with numerical simulation. The Median Tectonic Line (MTL), an arc-bisecting fault of southwest Japan, has been right-laterally activated under the recent oblique subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate. A series of dislocation models of the vertical deformation field indicated that the complicated arrangement of uplifting and subsiding areas of the island arc is related to the bent morphology of the regional fault. Our approach successfully restored the neotectonic landforms on this active plate margin. In return, the burial history of sedimentary basins along the MTL constrained the temporal propagation pattern of active segments on the modeled fault, which is probably related to the surface roughness of the converging oceanic plate.</p> |
