Description

Up to now, the folds, faults, etc., found in the areas of frequent landslide occurrence in the “green-tuff” region of the Tohoku district have been considered to originate in the diastrophism.<BR>A great deal of research has been conducted into geological structures-such as folds and faults-that are caused by various factors: the bedrock movement following the ground upheaval continuing to the present day; the gravity slides that occurred in the mudstone sedimentation on the ocean floor; bedrock deformation due to the large-scale original rock slides that occurred frequently in Quaternary; and so on.<BR>We have already reported the case of the western area of the Ou mountains in detail. In this report, we will further describe the fold and fault structures and landslides in the Dewa Hill areas, the fold structure and landslides in the surrounding granite areas of the Tohoku district, and the relationship between some aspect of fault structures and landslides.
