Executive Summary | The occurrence of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake (Mw9.0) along the Japan Trench motivated us to hypothesize an equally gigantic earthquake along the Nankai Trough, which is another plate boundary close to the coast of Japan. The evaluation of strong ground motions for such an earthquake should be based on a source model whose applicability for gigantic earthquakes has been demonstrated using existing strong motion records including those from the Tohoku earthquake. |
