		Boso Peninsula projects from the northern third of Honshu for about 80 km into the Pacific Ocean, forming the northern flank of the Tokyo Bay.
		Tectonic setting; The Boso Peninsula occupies a tectonically highly unstable area in the close proximity to the triple junction between the Philippines, Pacific, and Asian crustal plates.
		The southern part of the Boso Peninsula lies 20 km northeast of the junction between the Philippine and Asian plates, and both earthquakes resulted in an uplift of several meters.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Boso Peninsula
		Boso Peninsula (房総半島 Bōsō-hantō) is a peninsula in Chiba prefecture on Honshu, the largest island of Japan, forming the eastern edge of Tokyo Bay, separating it from the Pacific Ocean.
		While the western part of the peninsula is highly urbanized (centered on the city of Kisarazu), the other coastal lowlands and interior river valleys are chiefly used for growing rice.
		Peninsula A peninsula (from Latin paene insula, almost island) is a geographical formation consisting of an extension of land from a larger body, surrounded by water on three sides.

	Boso Peninsula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Boso Peninsula is seismotectonically active region, where the highest Holocene paleo-shoreline is distributed up to 30 m above sea level.
		As a result of the component analysis of vertical crustal movements, the height distribution of the highest Holocene paleo-shoreline along the western coast is basically explained by accumulation of the coseismic vertical displacements associated with the Genroku-type earthquake and the Taisho-type earthquake (Fig.
		The southernmost part of the peninsula is affected by inter-seismic subsidence.

	Collision
		The absence of the geophysical constraints, such as the hot spot chains or mid-ocean ridges, for determining the past plate motion of the Philippine Sea Plate, is owing to this controversy.
		The scoria beds are well developed in the marine sequence in the Miura and Boso Peninsulas, close to the present Izu Peninsula.
		As the presence of the scoria beds indicates the basaltic activity of the subducted Izu-Ogasawara arc (proto-Izu arc) at near the Boso peninsula, the age of the lowest scoria bed in the Boso marine sequence probably indicates when the basaltic volcanism started and/or when the active volcanic arc migrated to near the peninsula.

		The Boso-hanto Peninsula is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in the east, Tokyo Bay and Uraga Channel in the west.
		Thanks to the oceanic climate that is warm even in winter, there are a number of attractions that take advantage of the warmth, such as the Mother Bokujyo Ranch, a vast picnic area with various animals and attractions, and Kamogawa Sea-World, which is famous for performances by killer whales and dolphins.

		Whatever it is, the Boso area has a deepness and lushness of vegetation greater than anything I have found anywhere else in Japan, and Japan is not known for its lack of greenery.
		Keep away from the main coastal roads in the top half of the peninsula, though, since in typical Chiba style they are now crowded out with the worst kind of tacky, unplanned growth.
		In Boso the beaches are so long and so wide that you could dump the whole 30 million population of Tokyo, Chiba and Yokohama there and still have quite a lot of room left to breathe.

	Boso Silent Earthquake

		From this crustal deformation, aseismic slip was estimated off the east coast of the Boso peninsula with its rupture propagating to the south with a time duration of about 7 days (3, 4).
		Employing a Kalman filter, we estimated the time evolution of the 2002 Boso aseismic slip and compared the 2002 event with the 1996 silent earthquake in order to investigate the nature of silent earthquakes.

		In order to improve the resolution, we have conducted a series of active and passive seismic experiments in the Boso Peninsula, considered to be relative lower noise in the urban area.

	Chapter 12a
		We knew vaguely that Boso existed - that it was a large peninsula sticking out in the Pacific south of Chiba city which itself was just to the east of Tokyo.
		Like most Tokyoites, we assumed that Boso was little more than a large blob of featureless land lying somewhere beyond a wasteland of factories, steel mills and scruffy urbanization spreading towards and beyond Chiba city.
		The extra Boso land development was to keep me busy for years, when I could have and maybe should have been doing other things.

		The Uchibō Line (内房線), or "Inner Boso Line", follows the western coast (Tokyo Bay side) through Kisarazu, while the Sotobō or "Outer Boso" Line (外房線) cuts across the peninsula and then goes down the east coast (Pacific Ocean side) via Katsuura.

		Reports on the damage theorized that ground motion corresponded to a seismic intensity of 6 on the Richter scale.
