Figure 4

Depth profiles of thermal conductivity (A), thermal diffusivity (B), and volumetric heat capacity (C). Thermal conductivity values were measured for whole-round core samples (red circles), half-core samples (blue squares), and rock-chips samples (green triangles) retrieved from JFAST borehole C0019E. Thermal diffusivity (B) was measured; volumetric heat capacity (C) was calculated using the two measured values. The broken line shows the depth of the plate boundary fault (PBF) that ruptured during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake.
