Abstract
Seismic wave propagation in Hokkaido, Japan, for large destructive earthquakes are simulated by the 3-D finite-difference method. The simulation results indicate that the peak ground velocity distribution for an inland earthquake is nearly circle, but for a plate-boundary earthquake it is irregular, due to influence of lateral heterogeneity in the crust and upper mantle beneath the Hokkaido region.
