The seismic event during A.D. 1500–1630 may correspond with the 1548 Bengal earthquake, the first recorded large earthquake of Bangladesh. Sand dikes, which reach near the ground surface due to paleo-liquefactions , were confirmed at the trench.

On Luzon, the fault zone splays out into a number of different faults, including the Digdig Fault. One of the largest historical earthquake on the fault zone was the 1990 Luzon M s 7.8 event that left nearly 2,000 people dead or missing. The same part of the fault zone is thought to have ruptured in the 1645 Luzon earthquake. [7]
The northern and southern extensions of the Philippine Fault Zone experience infrequent earthquakes and often described as locked segments which are capable of larger magnitude earthquakes. The largest (M7.0) and most destructive earthquakes are generated along the Guinayangan fault every 30–100 years with slip rates of 20–33 mm/year as ...

Earthquake epicenters 1963–98. In seismology, a seismic zone or seismic belt is an area of seismicity potentially sharing a common cause. It can be referred to as an earthquake belt as well. It may also be a region on a map for which a common areal rate of seismicity is assumed for the purpose of calculating probabilistic ground motions.
The 2019 Eastern Samar Earthquake struck the islands of Visayas in the Philippines on April 23, 2019, at 1:37:51 p.m. (). [3] It had a moment magnitude of 6.5 [3] (M ww 6.4 by USGS) [4] and a local magnitude of 6.2 [5] with a max intensity of VI based on the PHIVOLCS earthquake intensity scale (PEIS). [3]
The 2016 Imphal earthquake occurred on 4 January 2016 at 4:35 a.m. local time (23:05 UTC, 3 January) [3] in Manipur, and had a magnitude of 6.7 Mw. [4] The seismic wave radius travelled over 200 km and shaking was felt in numerous cities, including Imphal , Silchar and Guwahati .
