The instantaneous rotation vector of the Philippine sea plate relative to the Eurasian plate

Tectonophysics, 1977
Abstract Using all the available fault-plane solutions of the inter-plate earthquakes along the northwestern and eastern boundaries of the Philippine Sea plate, the instantaneous rotation vector of the Philippine Sea plate relative to the Eurasian plate is determined (pole: 45.5°N, 150.2°E, angular velocity: 1.20 deg/m.y.).

Paleomagnetic data from the Philippine Sea Plate and their tectonic significance

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1991
New paleomagnetic data from Guam and Saipan have been obtained and are used, in conjunction with previously published results from around the Philippine Sea plate, to interpret the origin and history of the Philippine Sea plate. A lower Miocene direction (I=3.5°, D=54.5°, a95=17.4°, k=20.3) and a middle Oligocene direction (I=5.3°, D=68.4°, a95=12.8 ...

Surface wave tomography and azimuthal anisotropy of the Philippine Sea Plate

Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract Long period and broadband waveform data from 1984 to 2007 extracted mainly from the IRIS Data Center with additional data from 1997 to 2007 extracted from the Ocean Hemisphere Project is used to perform a detailed mapping of Rayleigh wave group velocity and anisotropic structures of the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP).

Complexity of the Oligocene meridional motion of the Philippine Sea Plate

Geology
Abstract The kinematic reconstruction of the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) holds significant importance in elucidating the Australia–SE Asia collision and the Pacific Plate subduction. Previous studies suggested an overall northward motion of the PSP since its inception, but this first-order kinematic model cannot account for the observed ...

Subducting oceanic crust on the Philippine Sea plate in Southwest Japan

Tectonophysics, 1990
Abstract It is well-known that subcrustal earthquakes occur in Southwest Japan owing to subduction of the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate. Observing the earthquakes at a single station in the Chugoku district, we frequently find a distinct pair of later P and S phases after weak initial P and S phases, respectively.

Cenozoic motion of the Philippine Sea Plate: Palaeomagnetic evidence from eastern Indonesia

Tectonics, 1995
The history of motion of the Philippine Sea Plate is poorly known because it is isolated from the oceanic ridge system. Interpretation of palaeomagnetic results from the plate has been controversial because declination data have been obtained only from the eastern margin where subduction‐related tectonic processes may have caused local rather than ...

Geology and Geochemistry of the Rapu-Rapu Ophiolite Complex, Eastern Philippines: Possible Fragment of the Proto-Philippine Sea Plate

International Geology Review, 2006
The Cretaceous Rapu-Rapu Ophiolite Complex is a dismembered marginal basin ophiolite formed at an intermediate to fast spreading center. Limited subduction is manifested by the crystallization of pyroxene before plagioclase in the layered ultramafic cumulates.

Tectonics of the southern tip of the Parece Vela Basin, Philippine Sea Plate

Tectonophysics, 2009
We report new geophysical and petrological data collected at the southern tip of the Parece Vela Basin in the Philippine Sea. The Parece Vela Basin, which was formed as a backarc basin behind proto Mariana arc-trench system from late Oligocene to middle Miocene, provides us a good opportunity to study the nature of successive backarc basin formations ...

Receiver Function Image of the Subducting Philippine Sea Plate

2018
We construct receiver function (RF) image using onshore and offshore observatories located around the Kii Peninsula, southwest Japan, to investigate fluid distribution along the subducting Philippine Sea Plate. We calculate RFs at offshore sites using the inverse water-layer filter method.

Seasonality of Great Earthquake Occurrence at the Northwestern Margin of the Philippine Sea Plate

pure and applied geophysics, 1999
—A significant seasonality is found in the occurrence time of past great earthquakes (M≥ 7.9) in the northwestern margin of the Philippine Sea plate. Among the thirteen earthquakes cataloged, five took place in December, and all the earthquakes are included in the seven months from August to February.
