The PHIVOLCS FaultFinder is an application capable to do proximity searches to active faults. It may be used to determine the location of active faults in an area and to measure the shortest distance between an active fault and a user’s current location, which is determined by the gadget’s tracking device.
To determine if your current or future property stands in an earthquake-prone area, you can use PHIVOLC’s FaultFinder app to see if there are faults near you. To learn more about the nearest fault in your city, check out the Philippine fault line map below:
The Philippine fault system is a major inter-related system of geological faults throughout the whole of the Philippine Archipelago, [1] primarily caused by tectonic forces compressing the Philippines into what geophysicists call the Philippine Mobile Belt. [2]
Since 2003, Kyoto University and PHIVOLCS-DOST have been mapping the Philippine Fault. At present, approximately 9 0% of on-land-stretch of the PFZ has been mapped. This delineation is based on interpretation of available large-scale (at least 1:30,000) aerial photographs.
The Philippines is home to about thirty active fault systems where earthquakes may develop. The top five active primary fault zones in the Philippines include the West Panay Fault, the West Valley Fault Line, the East Valley Fault Line, the Surigao Fault Line, and the Bangui Fault.
Here’s how to check the nearest fault in your area: Valley Fault System. If you live in Metro Manila or its neighboring provinces, you should take a look at the Valley Fault System. One of the...
The Philippine fault is approximately 1,250 km long with a left-lateral strike-slip fault extending the seismic NNW parallel to the Philippine archipelago. This fault has been very active in the past 200 years with several destructive earthquakes.
The Valley Fault System (VFS) Atlas is a handbook that includes large scale maps of the Greater Metro Manila Area (GMMA) showing locations transected by the VFS. The PHIVOLCS FaultFinder, meanwhile, is a web application that displays the VFS as well as all faults transecting the rest of the country.
Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr., DOST undersecretary for disaster risk reduction and climate announced the latest app developed by the DOST-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology which can determine the location of active faults.
The Marikina Valley fault system, also known as the Valley fault system (VFS), is a dominantly right-lateral strike-slip fault system in Luzon, Philippines. [2] It extends from Doña Remedios Trinidad , Bulacan in the north, running through the provinces of Rizal , the Metro Manila cities of Quezon , Marikina , Pasig , Taguig and Muntinlupa ...
