Enhanced arc magmatic productivity of the Western Pacific island arcs deduced from gravity-derived arc crustal growth rates

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Island arcs are postulated as the juvenile components that contribute to the growth of continental crust. Growth rates of arc crusts were previously computed using crustal thicknesses derived from seismic data.

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 ...

Tomographic image of crust and upper mantle off the Boso Peninsula using data from an ocean-bottom seismograph array

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
We determined the three-dimensional structure of the crust and upper mantle off the Boso Peninsula, Japan, by analyzing seismograms recorded by ocean-bottom seismometers and land stations between 2011 and 2013. We employed seismic tomography to determine

North Luzon and the Philippine Sea Plate motion model: insights following paleomagnetic, structural, and age-dating investigations [PDF]

, 2007
Results of one of the most comprehensive paleomagnetic and supporting geological programs ever carried out in offshore SE Asia on North Luzon, northern Philippines, are reported. Six new results, based on 66 sites, are reported from a total collection of

Moment tensor inversion of the 2016 southeast offshore Mie earthquake in the Tonankai region using a three-dimensional velocity structure model: effects of the accretionary prism and subducting oceanic plate

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018
The southeast offshore Mie earthquake occurred on April 1, 2016 near the rupture area of the 1944 Tonankai earthquake, where seismicity around the interface of the Philippine Sea plate had been very low until this earthquake.

Origin and motion history of the Philippine Sea Plate

, 1995
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 ...

Mesozoic rock suites along western Philippines: Exposed proto-South China Sea fragments?

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2020
An ancient oceanic crustal leading edge east of mainland Asia, the proto-South China Sea crust, must have existed during the Mesozoic based on tectonic reconstructions that accounted for the presence of subducted slabs in the lower mantle and the exposed

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs

, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.
