Abstract;Stress concentration processes of large inland earthquakes are determined by heterogeneous structures in the crust. We investigated deformation and stress concentration processes for large inland earthquakes. We numerically simulated the deformation and faulting that occur around the Backbone Range in northeastern Japan. We also investigated the deformation and stress concentration processes around the source region of the 2004 Mid Niigata Pref. earthquakes, the northern part of the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic line, and source regions of thrust earthquakes in Nepal.
