Figure 10From: Evolutionary process of Beppu Bay in central Kyushu, Japan: a quantitative study of the basin-forming process controlled by plate convergence modesSpatiotemporal distribution of stress-strain regime in southwest Japan and kinematic model of the Philippine Sea/Eurasian plate convergence. Red and blue portions represent areas of compressive (contractional) and tensile (extensional) stress (strain), respectively. Modes of the Philippine Sea plate convergence are schematically shown by the length and azimuth of the arrows. (a,b,c,d) Sequential tectonic epochs of SWJ since 6Â Ma, which are described in the text.Back to article page
