| contents | Quaternary marine tephras in the Izu-Bonin Arc offer significant information about explosive volcanic activities of the arc. Visual core descriptions, petrographic examinations, and chemical and grain-size analyses were conducted on tephras of backarc, arc, and forearc origin. Tephras are black and white and occur in simple and multiple modes with mixed and nonmixed ashes of black and white glass shards. The grain size distributions of the tephras are classified into three categories: coarse, white pumiceous, and fine white and black well-sorted types. The frequency of occurrence of the white and black tephras differs within the tectonic settings of the arc. Chemically, the Quaternary tephras in this region belong to low-alkali tholeiitic series with lower K2O and TiO2 than normal ordinary arc volcanic materials. Several tephras from different sites along the forearc correlate with each other and with tephras in the Shikoku Basin site and with Aogashima volcanics. These volcanic ashes resemble those in other backarc rifting areas, such as in the Fiji, Okinawa (Ryukyu), and Mariana regions. |
