We carried out a magnetotelluric (MT) survey along a profile crossing the Median Tectonic Line (MTL) in western Shikoku, Japan. The MTL is a terrane boundary that formed during the Cretaceous between the Sanbagawa belt, consisting of high pressure/temperature (P/T) metamorphic rocks, and the Ryoke belt of granites and low P/T metamorphic rocks. The...

... A magnetotelluric (MT) investigation uses electromagnetic signals from natural sources to image the resistivity distribution in the crust and upper mantle. For example, MT investigations have identified conductive zones along tectonic boundaries (e.g., Ichihara et al. 2016;Ikeda et al. 2013), suggesting that fluid-filled areas in and around fault zones may contribute to slip behavior at those boundaries. In the Tohoku-oki area, Key and Constable, (2011) analyzed marine MT data acquired from the forearc region (survey line along 40°N). ...
