contents Numerous marine tephra layers cored at Sites 792 and 793 in the Izu-Bonin forearc region offer additional information about the timing and spatial characteristics of arc volcanism and the evolution of island arcs. Explosive volcanism along the Izu-Bonin Arc, with maxima just before rifting of the arc at ~40 and 5-0 Ma, produced black and white tephras of variable grain sizes and chemical compositions. Most of the tephras belong chemically to low-K and low-alkali tholeiitic rock series with a few tephra of the high-K and alkalic rock series. Most of the tephras (low-K series) were derived from the Izu-Bonin Arc, although a few were produced far to the west of the Izu-Bonin Arc (e.g., from the Ryukyu Arc). Black tephras may have come from nearby sources, such as Aogashima, Sumisu, and Torishima islands. The high-K series of tephras, within the sediments younger than 3 Ma, may reflect thickening of the island-arc crust.
