The strip map of the surface fault raptures associated with the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake, central Japan -the Nojima, Ogura and Nadagawa Earthquake Faults- (1:10,000)


A new strip map in the tectonic map series has been published in December, 1998. In this map, the Nojima, Ogura and Nadagawa Earthquake Faults are shown, which ruptured during the Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake of January 17, 1995 (Mj7.2; Mw6.9). It consists of a map (about 80 cm wide, 110 cm high in 7 colors) and an explanatory text (74 pages including a list of bibliographic references). The price for a set is \3,570 (including \170 consumption tax).
Please contact the distributors to purchase.

The map sheet on a scale of 1: 10,000 covers the northern part of the Awaji Island, and shows the trace with the data of displacements and features of the surface fault ruptures. Moreover, it contains landslide scarps and debris, tectonic landforms, outcrops of the faults and the results from trench excavation survey on the geological base map of the Late Pliocene to Quaternary. In the explanatory text, the surface ruptures are shown in detail on the topographic maps on a scale of 1: 2,500 (cf. the detailed map).
