Determination of Euler parameters of Philippine Sea plate and the inferences

Science in China Series D: Earth Sciences, 2002
Euler vectors of 12 plates, including Philippine Sea plate (PH), relative to a randomly fixed Pacific plate(PA) were determined by inverting the 1122 data from NUVEL-1 global plate motion model, earthquake slip vectors along Philippine Sea plate boundary, and GPS observed velocities. Euler vectors of Philippine Sea plate relative to adjacent plates are

Origin and motion history of the Philippine Sea Plate

Tectonophysics, 1995
Abstract The Philippine Sea Plate is the one major plate whose Tertiary motion is poorly constrained and whose origin is problematical. Its southern boundary is the Sorong Fault system which is part of a major left-lateral fault system at the northern margin of the Australian plate.

Lateral variations in the structure of the Philippine Sea Plate

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1977
Multiple-filter analysis is applied to surface waves with their paths almost entirely inside the Philippine Sea plate. The resulting dispersion data are used to study the crustal and upper mantle structures of the plate. Effort is made to examine the intraplate structural variations.

The Philippine Sea plate: A “sinking towel”?

Tectonophysics, 1972
Abstract Two sub-parallel arc chains bound the Philippine Sea plate: southwest Japan, Ryukyu, Taiwan and the Philippines on the west mark the site of downthrust for the Philippine Sea plate and Izu, Bonin, Mariana, Yap and Palau that of the Pacific plate.

Evidence for changing plate motions in southwest Japan and reconstructions of the Philippine Sea plate

Island Arc, 1992
Abstract We propose that a change in convergence between the Pacific and Eurasian plates and the demise of the Kula‐Pacific spreading centre at ca 43 Ma resulted in an ∼40° counterclockwise rotation in shortening direction within the Eocene Shimanto accretionary prism of southwest Japan. Evidence for this interpretation comes from: (1) structural

Strike-slip intraplate earthquakes in the Western Philippine Sea Plate

Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract On 26 April 2010, a strike-slip earthquake (Mw 6.5) occurred in the Western Philippine Sea Plate. We deployed 14 ocean-bottom seismometers to record the corresponding aftershocks to acquire information regarding these intraplate events. Our results show that the aftershocks were located along two linear features that intersect with an angle ...

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).

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.

Improved geometry of the subducting Philippine Sea plate beneath the Suruga Trough

Global and Planetary Change, 2021
Abstract The Philippine Sea (PHS) plate subducts beneath the Eurasian plate at the Suruga Trough where megathrust earthquakes have repeatedly occurred. We used data from permanent seismic stations on land and temporary seismic stations beneath Suruga Bay to resolve the seismic velocity structure from the surface to 40–60 km depth beneath the Tokai ...

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.).
