Onthe Damage eaused by the Severe Earthquake in Sizuoka

Abstract

The distribution of the striken villages, which were heavilier suffered compared with the neighbouring villages, by the earthquake which attacked the Shizuoka prefecture on 11th, July 1935, is examined with the light which was first given by Prof. S. Fujiwhara on the distribution of the parasitic crators of Mt. Fuji. The fundamental idea of the present paper is that; due to the elevation of Mt. Udo many weak lines may appear along the lines of flow in the plastic earthcrust. When an earthquake attacks this region, the places on the weak lines suffer larger shocks and accordingly the damage may be considered to be severer than that on the othe places.
Those villages lie on the seven lines which may be considered to belong to three groups and one questionable line.
