We propose that the sedimentary characteristics of the drilled cores can be explained as consequences of the change in plate coupling between the subducting Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate, dependent on the plate dip angle and water flux resulting from plate subduction. Our model explains the interrelationship among the observed and inferred changes in the plate dip angle, location of the volcanic front, sedimentation rate, volcanic activity, and horizontal stress field caused by the change in plate coupling, which dictates the amount of tectonic force transmitted across the plate boundary. Previously studied subsidence history of the forearc, ascribed to the subduction erosion process, is also incorporated.completedStratigraphySolid-earth geophysicsbasinsCenozoiccorescouplingerosionfore-arc basinsisland arcsJapan TrenchLeg 186lithostratigraphymodelsNeogeneNorth PacificNorthwest PacificOcean Drilling Programocean floorsODP Site 1150ODP Site 1151Pacific OceanPacific Platepaleo-oceanographyplate tectonicsseismotectonicssubductiontectonicsTertiaryvolcanismWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:186urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:186:site:1150urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:186urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:186:site:1151urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:186urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation143.2000143.200038.450039.1100Also available on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTMLapplication/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www-odp.tamu.edu/publications/186_SR/VOLUME/SYNTH/SYNTH.PDFdownload
