Intermingled fates of the South China Sea and Philippine Sea plate [PDF]

National Science Review, 2019
Recent studies have shown the extent and nature of the South China Sea (SCS) at the end of spreading by unfolding (i.e. structurally restoring) the Manila slab, which is the subducted part of the SCS, and by identifying the nature of the crust-lithosphere (oceanic or thinned continental) from mid-slab P-wave velocity perturbations (dVp) [1,2].

Identification and evolution of tectonic units in the Philippine Sea Plate

China Geology, 2022
The Philippine Sea Plate is located at the convergence zone of the Eurasian Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Indo-Australian Plate. This paper divides the Philippine Sea Plate into two second-order tectonic units and eight third-order tectonic units by ...

Back‐Arc Tectonics and Plate Reconstruction of the Philippine Sea‐South China Sea Region Since the Eocene

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Insight into the evolution of Philippine Sea‐South China Sea (SCS) plate motions helps reveal the driving mechanisms of the long‐term tectonic complexity in Southeast Asia. Here, based on the integration of the most recent geological and seismic data, we

Split Philippine Sea plate beneath Japan [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2010
The shape of the Philippine Sea Plate subducting beneath western Japan is a crucial factor in understanding earthquakes and volcanic activity. We propose that the subducted plate was split along an extinct ridge due to an abrupt change of subduction direction, followed by elastic deformation of the plate and an accumulation of stress near the ridge ...

Tectono-magmatic evolution of the Philippine Sea Plate: A review

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
The West Pacific Margin incorporates 75% of global marginal basins/back-arc basins. These basins and their adjacent trenches and island arcs constitute a huge trench-arc-basin system created by the interactions among three tectonic plates (the Pacific ...

Large-scale slope failure and active erosion occurring in the southwest Ryukyu fore-arc area [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001
The southwestern Ryukyu area east of Taiwan Island is an arcuate boundary between Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate. The topographic features in the area are characterised by (1) a large-scale amphitheatre off Ishigaki Island, just on the ...

Azimuthal Variation in the Surface Wave Velocity of the Philippine Sea Plate

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A study of the azimuthal variation in the surface wave fundamental-mode phase velocity is performed for the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP). This azimuthal variation has been anisotropically inverted for the PSP to determine the isotropic and anisotropic ...

Intraplate stresses and plate‐driving forces in the Philippine Sea Plate [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1999
We use a spherical shell elastic finite element analysis to characterize intraplate stresses and plate‐driving forces in the Philippine Sea Plate. Our finite element mesh is comprised of 489 nodes and 914 elements, and provide a spatial resolution of about 1°.

Gravity inversion constrained by OBS receiver function reveals crustal structure in Ryukyu Trench

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Ryukyu Trench is located in the northern Philippine Sea. The subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate to the Eurasia Plate along the Ryukyu Trench in the NNW direction leads to extremely complex tectonic processes such as subduction, collision ...

Asthenospheric Flow From East Asia to the Philippine Sea Plate Revealed by Rj‐MCMC Inversion of Surface Waves

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Pacific and Philippine Sea Plate subductions have resulted in and controlled the development of a typical trench‐arc‐back‐arc system in NE Asia since the Cenozoic.
