Abstract
The Quaternary activities along the Median Tectonic Line around Awa-Ikeda have been explained as thrust fault, right lateral slip fault, etc. Such explanations sound too much simple to interpret this biggest fault in Japan. The writer reexamined the activity of Median Tectonic Line around Awa-Ikeda and brought the following interpetations.1) There are clearly recognized thrust fault and vertical fault with strike-slip, and the former is intersected by the latter.2) As for the stages of fault activity, the former is thought to be at the Shobudani stage and the latter at the lower terrace stage or later.3) These fault activies are expected to be found in the lower Yoshino River basin and in the Kino-kawa River basin.
