The Amami Plateau is situated at the northwest part of the Philippine Sea Plate. The plateau is characterized by three seamount chains, which trend east-northeast. The north seamount chain is made of submarine conical volcanoes. The center and south seamount chains are composed of ridge-like seamounts trending in an easterly or northeasterly direction. Small basin, which are elongated in a same direction of central seamount chain, are situated between the center and south seamount chains. The southern slope of these semount chains of the ridge shows horst and graben structures. The Kita-Daito Basin, which is situated between the Amami Plateau and the Daito Ridge, has two magnetic lineation which strike N10°E. And the northern slope of the Daito ridge shows horst and graben structures. It indicates from the above that the Amami Plateau is separated from the Daito Ridge in Eocene time.Journal
