The limestone formation is divided into quite a few blocks by a series of faults representing platforms of various heights of 150 to 180m. The fault movement signifies the Uruma event of the Quarternary crustal movement. (Okinawa Quarternary Research Group, 1976, Kizaki and Takayasu, 1976). The present study based on the surface survey, drilling and electric prospecting shows that the structure of the limestone platform and the surrounding staircase topography of the area is resulted from a combination of uplift and subsequent concave landslide-like antithetic step faults. The period of the movement is defined here as after the sedimentation of the Ryukyu limestone and before the sedimentation of the terrace limestone which corresponds to the Machinato limestone of MacNeil (1960)., 紀要論文}, pages = {89--98}, title = {A Mode of the "URUMA" Crustal Movement in the Southeastern Part of the Okinawa-jima, Ryukyu Island}, year = {1979} }
