Heat flow data in the area southeast of the Kii Peninsula (off Kumano). (a) Location map. Heat flow data in the shaded area are plotted in the cross section in (b). The solid line rectangle represents the study area shown in Figure 2. (b) Heat flow cross section along the red line in (a). The horizontal axis is the distance from the deformation front (positive landward). Circles and squares are previous measurements with ordinary surface probes and long-term monitoring instruments, respectively (open circles: data of low quality) (Hamamoto et al. 2011; Kinoshita et al. 2008). Rhombuses are data obtained in IODP holes (Harris et al. 2013). Crosses are estimates from BSR depths (Ashi et al. 1999). Red shading indicates approximate ranges of values obtained in this study after correction for topographic effect. The dashed line rectangle indicates the high scatter zone. (c) Simplified bathymetry and structure cross section showing location of megasplay fault (modified from Moore et al. 2009).
