The Philippines islands were formed in evolutionary processes involving subductions, collisions, and strike-slip faulting. earthquakes are frequent there as a result of collision processes between the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) and the Sunda Plate (SP). The slip convergence between PSP and the SP boundary is obliquely accommodated by the Philippine fault system, which is a major left-lateral ...
On December 2, 2023, at 22:37 PST (14:37 UTC), a moment magnitude (M ww ) 7.6 earthquake occurred off the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The shallow subduction earthquake killed at least three people and left 79 injured.
The earthquake struck near Davao Oriental early on Thursday morning, August 12. PHIVOLCS earlier listed the earthquake as magnitude 7.3 at a depth of 69 kilometers, then revised its advisory to a magnitude 7.2 earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 50 kilometers.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) initially reported a magnitude 6.5 earthquake striking at 8:03 am Philippine Standard Time (PST) in Cataingan, Masbate. [9] The report was later revised to a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. The earthquake was also felt in several parts of Luzon and the Visayas. [6] The fault from which the earthquake originated is the Masbate segment ...
2022 Luzon earthquake. On July 27, 2022, at 8:43:24 a.m. (PHT), an earthquake struck the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 M w , with an epicenter in Abra province. [4][5] Eleven people were reported dead and 615 were injured.
The 2010 Mindanao earthquakes occurred in the southern Philippines in the Moro Gulf. This was a complex sequence of events including three main events (a triplet earthquake) of Mw magnitude 7.3 or greater on the 23rd of July, and two significant aftershocks of magnitude 6.6 on the 24th and 29th. All of these were deep focus earthquakes, at ...
The 2019 Luzon earthquake (M w 6.1) and all large earthquakes (M w ≥ 7.0) in Central Luzon. These were in 1968 (Casiguran), 1970, [18] 1977 (in Cagayan Valley), [19] 1985, [20] 1990, and 1999. Geologically, to the left is the Manila Trench and the Iba Fault in Zambales. In the center is the Digdig Fault in Nueva Ecija.
