Abstract
Detailed magnetic surveys around the islands of Japan have revealed the presence of Mesozoic volcanic and plutonic belts at depth beneath the continental shelf. These belts, which can be correlated with those on the mainland of eastern Asia, provide a record of the migration of island arcs since the opening of marginal seas during the Tertiary.
