To reveal the cycle of interplate earthquakes along the Sagami Trough, I investigatedthe emergedshoreline topography andthe fossilizedsessile assemblages in the Miura Peninsula andthe Boso Peninsula. The distribution pattern of coseismic vertical displacement during the +1*- Genroku Kanto Earthquake inferredfrom the height distribution of the paleo-shoreline suggests that the fault source model consists of a dual fault system of the Fault A andb. Fault A is also the source of the +3,- Taisho Kanto Earthquake. The geometry and ages of the emerged shoreline topography divided into several levels indicate that the characteristic earthquake generatedfrom Fault A has occurredabout every.** years. One of several events, it is accompaniedwith a slip of Fault B, which has a recurrence interval of,***,1** years.
