The United States Geological Survey (USGC) recorded the depth of focus for the earthquake at 6.5 kilometers (4.0 mi), [5] deeper than what is recorded by PHIVOLCS.. The tremor was caused by the movement of the Leyte Segment of the Philippine Fault.
Tsunami damage at Barangay Tibpuan, Lebak, Mindanao. Several fault zones in the region are capable of producing major earthquakes and destructive local tsunamis. The two major fault zones that are most dangerous are the Sulu Trench in the Sulu Sea and the Cotabato Trench, a region of subduction that crosses the Celebes Sea and the Moro Gulf in Southern Mindanao.
The PHIVOLCS earthquake intensity scale (PEIS; Filipino: Panukat ng Pagyanig ng Lindol) [1] is a seismic scale used and developed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) to measure the intensity of earthquakes.
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]
