Figure F9. Azimuth of maximum horizontal stress (red lines) estimated from borehole breakout images, Sites C0001, C0002 (in basin above 936 mbsf), C0004, and C0006. Blue line = estimate for older accretionary prism formation below 936 mbsf at Site C0002, yellow arrows = computed far-field convergence vectors between Philippine Sea plate and Japan (Seno et al., 1993; Heki, 2007). GPS = Global Positioning System.
