Abstract
⺠We investigate the cause of two destructive earthquakes in the mid-Niigata region. ⺠We model the development of a complex fault configuration. ⺠The buried rift and weak zones in the basement are considered. ⺠Fault zones develop in the parts of the basement with a small frictional coefficient. ⺠Fault zones of the 2004 and 2007 earthquakes are reproduced in the present model.
