The Philippine Trench (also called the Philippine Deep, Mindanao Trench, and the Mindanao Deep) is a submarine trench to the east of the Philippines. The trench is located in the Philippine sea of the western North Pacific Ocean and continues NNW-SSE. [1] It has a length of approximately 1,320 kilometres (820 miles) and a width of about 30 km ...
The Philippine Trench is known to be formed by recent subduction. This was deduced by considering the shallowness of the subduction slab (indicated by shallow seismicity) and the subduction rate. [19] One hypothesis is that the formation of the Philippine Trench was related to the collision of the Palawan Block with the Philippine Mobile Belt.
The Manila Trench near western Luzon and Mindoro, the Philippine Trench in the east, and the Philippine Mobile Belt. The Manila Trench is an oceanic trench in the Pacific Ocean, located west of the islands of Luzon and Mindoro in the Philippines. The trench reaches a depth of about 5,400 metres (17,700 ft), [8] in contrast with the average ...
The earthquake occurred as a result of shallow oblique-thrust faulting likely along the subduction interface of the Philippine Trench. At this location, the Philippine Sea plate moves west-northwest at a rate of about 103 mm (4.1 in) per year with respect to the Sunda plate. A finite fault model suggests rupture occurred around an elliptical ...
The trench is located near the Philippine orogeny and located in the southeastern region of the Philippine Sea Plate. The depth of the trough is 5,700 meters. The East Luzon Trough formed during the Eocene and Oligocene epoch, 40–24 million years ago. [1] [2] [3] Immediately to the South of the East Luzon Trough is the Philippine Trench.
The Emden Deep, also known as the Galathea Deep or Galathea Depth, is the portion of the 10,540-metre-deep (34,580 ft) Philippine Trench exceeding 6,000-metre (20,000 ft) depths in the south-western Pacific Ocean. Discoverer ship Emden
The Philippine Mobile Belt is bounded on the west by the Manila Trench and its associates the Negros Trench and the Cotabato Trench, which subducts the Sunda plate under the Philippine Mobile Belt. To the east is the Philippine Trench and its northern associate, the East Luzon Trench which subducts Philippine Sea plate the Philippine Mobile ...
The oceanic Philippine Sea plate subducts beneath the Eurasian plate at the Ryukyu Trench. The oceanic Pacific plate subducts under the oceanic Philippine Sea plate forming the Mariana Trench. The oceanic Philippine Sea plate is subducting under the Philippine Mobile Belt forming the Philippine Trench and the East Luzon Trench.
