The earthquake occurred as a result of shallow oblique-thrust faulting likely along the subduction interface of the Philippine Trench. At this location, the Philippine Sea Plate moves west-northwest at a rate of about 103 mm (4.1 in) per year with respect to the Sunda Plate. A finite fault model suggests rupture occurred around an elliptical ...
