Abstract
Recently, it is suggested that the behavior of underground water plays an important role as a trigger to generate the earthquakes.Studies are made in the present paper on the variations of flow rate, temperature and heat capacity of hot springs in Izu peninsular since 1968 to 1976.The patterns of these variations show good correlations with the recent crustal movement and gravity variation in the same area.Above fact leads to the possibility to use the variations of the data on hot springs as one of the precursor of the generation of a large earthquake.
