[12] [23] The Philippine Mobile Belt was accreted to the South China Sea Block, forming the Manila Trench. This model is supported by structural and geological evidence. [12] First, the suture zone, which is observed as metamorphic belts, marks the boundary between the Palawan Block and the Philippine Mobile Belt. [12]
The Sibuyan Sea Fault is a part of the Philippine Fault System, a major inter-related system of geological faults throughout the whole of the Philippine Archipelago.This fault system is primarily caused by tectonic forces compressing the Philippines into what geophysicists call the Philippine Mobile Belt.
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.

Southeastward subduction of Sundaland Plate (SP) beneath the PMB along Manila (MT), Negros (NT), Sulu (ST), and Cotabato (CT) trenches.
The Philippine Archipelago is geologically part of the Philippine Mobile Belt located between the Philippine Sea Plate, the South China Sea Basin of the Eurasian Plate, and the Sunda Plate. The Philippine Trench (also called the Mindanao Trench) is a submarine trench 1,320 kilometers (820 mi) in length found directly east of the Philippine ...
