Swath Bathymetric using SeaBeam 2000 around Japan (2) Seafloor topography and epicenter distribution of shallow earthquakes

Epicenter distribution of shallow earthquakes was projected on the SeaBeam 2000 bathymetric maps around Japan. Among these maps, the one in the Japan Trench region is suggestive. The north-south variaion in seismicity associated to the Pacific plate subduction beneath the landward plate seems to be related to characteristics of the seaward topography of the trench.
