Was the 1952 Tokachi‐oki earthquake (Mw= 8.1) a typical underthrust earthquake?: Plate interface reflectivity measurement by an air gun‐‐ocean bottom seismometer experiment in the Kuril Trench

The Kuril Trench subduction zone is one of the most seismogenic regions, where underthrust earthquakes with M> 8 recur along the trench. The seismic gap between the source areas of the 1973 Nemuro‐oki and 2003 Tokachi‐oki earthquakes, which are typical underthrust earthquakes faulting with ruptur...
