Abstract EN
The two-dimensional electrical resistivity structure beneath Naruko volcano was determined using magnetotelluric soundings.
The resulting model shows that a prominent conductor exists through the middle crust to the uppermost mantle beneath the volcano.
The location of the conductor agrees closely with a seismic low-velocity zone.
Low-frequency microearthquakes occur near the conductor around the Moho depth.
The cutoff depth of crustal earthquakes is coincident with the upper boundary of the conductor, implying that the conductor has a temperature appreciably higher than 400∘C.
Furthermore, new helium isotope data from hot springs around the volcano were obtained.
The spatial distribution of the observed H3e/H4e ratios reveals the extent of mantle-derived materials beneath Naruko volcano.
Consequently, it is apparent that the conductor determined beneath the volcano reflects the presence of high-temperature mantle-derived materials such as magmas and/or related fluids derived from active magmatism in the northeastern Japan subduction zone.
