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.
It is linked to another east-dipping subduction zone to the north in the East Luzon Trough with an east–west trending strike-slip fault. The Philippine propagates northwards in the segment of East Luzon Trench. [14] [24] [23] The age of the Philippine Trench is not well-defined; estimates range from 5 Ma or younger, [28] [1] to 8–9 Ma.
The fault zone intersects the East Rift near the Pauahi Crater and extends nearly 12 km (7.5 mi) in an east-northeast direction towards the westernmost boundary near Mauna Iki and the Southwest Rift Zone. Boundaries of the Koa’e Fault Zone also cover 2 km (1.2 mi) in a north-south orientation along the 12 km (7.5 mi) length.
Philippines map of Köppen climate classification zones. The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate that is usually hot and humid. There are three seasons: tag-init or tag-araw, the hot dry season or summer from March to May; tag-ulan, the rainy season from June to November; and tag-lamig, the cool dry season from December to February.
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.
