Subduction tectonics of the Philippines
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Subduction_tectonics_of_the_Philippines an entity of type: Thing
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. The region is bounded by subduction zones, where surrounding oceanic plates to the east and west slide towards the centre of the Philippine archipelago. Subduction results in deep oceanic trenches, such as the Philippine Trench and Manila Trench, bounding the eastern and western sides of the Philippine archipelago, respectively. The Philippine archipelago is also cut along its length by a left-lateral strike-slip fault known as the Philippine Fault. The region is also known as the Philippine mobile belt due to its complex tectonic setting.

The region is also known as the Philippine mobile belt due to its complex tectonic setting. Active subduction disturbs the crust, leading to volcanic activity, earthquakes and tsunamis, making the Philippines one of the most hazard-prone regions on Earth.
