The epicentre of the 7.6 magnitude earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) A 7.6 magnitude earthquake has hit the Philippines , triggering a tsunami warning .
This includes both faulting along the plate interfaces and within the subducting slabs. For the Philippine Trench, examples of those on the plate interface are the 1988 M w 7.3 and the 2023 M7.6 events. The 1975 M w 7.6 earthquake was caused by intra-slab normal faulting, while the 2012 M7.6 was a result of thrust faulting within the descending ...
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 Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS, Filipino:; Filipino: Surian ng Pilipinas sa Bulkanolohiya at Sismolohiya [2]) is a Philippine national institution dedicated to provide information on the activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as other specialized information and services primarily for the ...
A powerful undersea earthquake shook the southern Philippines on Friday, causing ceilings in shopping malls to plunge to the ground as shoppers screamed. No tsunami warning was in effect. The ...
The Office of Civil Defense told TIME in an email that “information on the number of casualties is all subject to validation.” Philippines Hit By Earthquake of 6.8 Magnitude. Here's What to Know
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 quake was at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), GFZ said. The U.S. Geological Survey said pegged the magnitude at 6.8. The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center said that there was no tsunami ...
