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 focal mechanism and depth corresponded to an earthquake of reverse-faulting at an intermediate depth. [5] On the PHIVOLCS earthquake intensity scale (PEIS), intensity VII (Destructive) was instrumentally recorded in Glan, Sarangani. [2] Intensity VI was reported in General Santos as well as in Polomolok and Koronadal, South Cotabato. [2]
The longest and most seismically active of the strike-slip structures is the 1200 km long Philippine Fault Zone. [6] It carries the left lateral component of the oblique convergence at the Philippine Trench, with a current estimated slip-rate of 35 ± 4 mm per year on Leyte, reducing northwards to about 20 mm per year on Luzon. On Luzon, the ...
On July 27, 2022, at 8:43:24 a.m. , an earthquake struck the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 M w , with an epicenter in Abra province. [4] [5] Eleven people were reported dead and 615 were injured. At least 35,798 homes, schools and other buildings were damaged or destroyed, resulting in ₱1.88 billion ...

The earthquake came from an area that produced a similar sequence of earthquakes in October 2019 and December 2019 [citation needed], within an active faulting zone known as the Cotabato fault system, which includes the NW-SE trending Makilala-Malungon, M'lang, North and South Columbio and Tangbulan faults, and the SW-NE trending Makilala and ...
