Observational results of the ground deformations obtained by means of tiltmeters and extensometers at two stations in Wakayama City in Kinki District, Japan, are presented and discussed with particular emphasis on the relation to meteorological and oceanic phenomena. The ground at the Oura station inclines gradually to the north-westward and a similar tendency is also discernible at the Akibasan station. It is shown that the annual changes observed are due to the thermal deformation of the groun
