    Major physiographic elements of the Philippine Mobile Belt Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park marker describing the geologic history of the Philippines. In the geology of the Philippines, the Philippine Mobile Belt is a complex portion of the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine Sea plate, comprising most of the country of the Philippines.

  3. Subduction tectonics of the Philippines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subduction_tectonics_of...

    The subduction tectonics of the Philippines is the control of geology over the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine region is seismically active and has been progressively constructed by plates converging towards each other in multiple directions. [1] The region is also known as the Philippine Mobile Belt due to its complex tectonic setting. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Fault_System

    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] Some notable Philippine faults include the Guinayangan, Masbate and Leyte faults.

    The geology of the North Palawan Block includes terrane found on four islands: North Palawan, Romblon Island Group, Northeast Mindoro and Buruanga Peninsula.The stratigraphy found on Northern Palawan starts with the Middle Permian to Late Permian Bacuit Formation, a sequence of sandstone, altered tuff, calcareous sandstone, chert, and slate.

  7. Philippine Sea plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Sea_Plate

    The Philippine Sea plate or the Philippine plate is a tectonic plate comprising oceanic lithosphere that lies beneath the Philippine Sea, to the east of the Philippines.Most segments of the Philippines, including northern Luzon, are part of the Philippine Mobile Belt, which is geologically and tectonically separate from the Philippine Sea plate.

  8. Mindoro Block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindoro_Block

    The Mindoro block is a microcontinental block located in the Philippine Mobile Belt and the east side of North Palawan Block.It has comprises a metamorphic basement (Mindoro Metamorphics of Teves, 1953) of unknown but probably pre-late cretaceous age, overlain locally by upper cretaceous basalts (Karig, 1983), and more regionally succeeded by a probable upper eocene sequence of basinal clastic ...
