2 gru 2023 · The December 2, 2023, M 7.6 earthquake off the southeast coast of the island of Mindanao, Philippines occurred as a result of oblique reverse faulting at shallow depth ~75 km west of the Philippine Trench.
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 ...
11 lip 2024 · On the west side of Luzon, the Sunda Plate subducts eastward along a series of trenches, including the Manila Trench in the north, the smaller less well-developed Negros Trench in the central Philippines, and the Sulu and Cotabato trenches in the south (Cardwell et al., 1980).
We have proposed updated earthquake rupture scenarios along the Manila trench based on new geological earthquake focal mechanism information and geodetic observations. These rupture models enable tsunami assessment in the SCS and subsequent detailed examination of inundation processes for megacities along the coastlines of the SCS.
Coordinates: 10°19′S 109°58′E. The Sunda Trench, earlier known as and sometimes still indicated as the Java Trench, [1] is an oceanic trench located in the Indian Ocean near Sumatra, formed where the Australian - Capricorn plates subduct under a part of the Eurasian Plate.
8 lis 2023 · On 18 November 2022, a strong earthquake occurred in the near trench of Sunda Arc southwest of southern Sumatra, generating a small tsunami recorded at four tide gauge stations (KRUI, BINT, SBLT, and SIKA).
It is an active volcanic and seismic zone. In 2004 a massive undersea earthquake (magnitude 9.1) centred off northwestern Sumatra at the northern limit of the trench displaced a section of the fault zone stretching northward for more than 600 miles (1,000 km).
