The purpose of this paper is to investigate weakly hyperbolic equations with degeneracies in the space and time variables. These degeneracies as well as the sharp Levi conditions of Coo type are formulated by means of certain weight functions. For Cauchy problems to such quasi-linear weakly hyperbolic equations, the following subjects are studied: local existence of solutions in Sobolev spaces and Coo, a blow-up criterion, domains of dependence, and Coo regularity. The main tools are the transformation of the higher-order equation to a first-order system, a calculus for pseudodifferential operators with non-smooth symbols, and a generalization of Gronwall's lemma to differential inequalities with a singular coefficient.
