Graduate School of Science, Chiba University Abstract The seismogenic source fault of the,**1 Noto Hanto earthquake (M 0. 3JMA) runs beneath the northwestern part of the Noto peninsula and its o# shore trending ENE-WSW. To reveal the relationship between a seismogenic source fault and geologic structure, shallow, high-resolution seismic reflection and refraction profiling was undertaken across the source fault along the western coast of the Noto peninsula for +* km distance. The seismic source was a vibroseis and seismic data were recorded by fixed /1/ channels. The P-wave refraction analysis delineated the three layered velocity structure down to + km;,2. km/s, -,. km/s and.+. km/s layers. The -,. km/s layer, which corresponds to the lower Miocene fluvial sediments, shows northward thickening with steps. On the resultant depth converted seismic section, south and north-dipping, faults are interpreted based on the systematic change on dip-angle of the reflectors in the lower Miocene fluvial sediments. By comparing with the aftershock distribution, the deeper extension of the south-dipping fault corresponds to the source fault of the,**1 Noto Hanto earthquake.

Fig. 2. Comparison between geologic structure and aftershock distribution. Aftershock distribution is after Sakai et al. (,**2) and Yamada et al. (,**2). The aftershocks were projected to the plane, which is perpendicular to the strike of the source fault and passes through the center of the seismic line (Line +* in Figure + from Sato et al.,,**1), and rotated to the general strike of the CMP line of the seismic section. On this figure the dip angle of source fault shows apparent dip angle. +3,**1 : +3 +33****+,**1 :,**1,**1 2, -*+ -+,. +322,.+,0-,00.,**1,**1 11 0 /0, /00. +33* 133p. +333 /-,33-*2. Kano, K., T.
