    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 ...

    PHIVOLCS initially suspected the earthquake may have occurred on the Abra River Fault. Geologists had been aware of the potential for large earthquakes on the fault. The last known earthquake on the fault was in 1868, measuring 4.0–5.0 in magnitude. [11] The Abra River Fault is a northern extension of the Philippine Fault Zone.
