Abstract

White volcanic ash layes, with thickness of 2cm to 1Ocm, were found in the short cores from the deep-sea floor of Kumanonada at depths of 1,650m to 2,083m. Their depth in the cores varies from 54cm to 167cm from each core-top. Their chemical composition (Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca. Ti, Fe), determined by energy dispersive X-ray spetctrometry (EDX), is all identical. Statistically the tephra is correlated to Akahoya volcanic ash, which was ejected 6,300 years ago from the Kikai caldera situating in the southern off-coast of Satsuma Peninsula, South Kyushu. The mean sedimentation rate for the last 6,300 years in this basin is calculated to be 26 to 8.6cm/Kyr (17cm/Kyr in average).
