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

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

Mode of Strain Release Associated with Major Earthquakes in Japan [PDF]
, 1973 It is now widely accepted that most shallow earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of tectonic stress, and therefore strain, in the form of faulting (56, Chap. 14).

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.

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

Millennial slip rate of the Longitudinal Valley fault from river terraces: Implications for convergence across the active suture of eastern Taiwan [PDF]
, 2006 The Longitudinal Valley fault is a key element in the active tectonics of Taiwan. It is the principal structure accommodating convergence across one of the two active sutures of the Taiwan orogeny.

Boninite and Harzburgite from Leg 125 (Bonin-Mariana Forearc): A Case Study of Magma Genesis during the Initial Stages of Subduction [PDF]
, 1992 Holes drilled into the volcanic and ultrabasic basement of the Izu-Ogasawara and Mariana forearc terranes during Leg 125 provide data on some of the earliest lithosphere created after the start of Eocene subduction in the Western Pacific.

Seismic Structure of the Upper Mantle Beneath Eastern Asia From Full Waveform Seismic Tomography
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 To better understand the subsurface behavior of subducting slabs and their relation to the tectonic evolution of the overriding plate, we conduct a full waveform inversion on a large data set to determine a high‐resolution seismic model, FWEA18 (Full ...

Motion of the Philippine Sea plate consistent with the NUVEL-1A model [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2002 Summary We determine Euler vectors for 12 plates, including the Philippine Sea plate (PH), relative to the fixed Pacific plate (PA) by inverting the earthquake slip vectors along the boundaries of the Philippine Sea plate, GPS observed velocities, and 1122 data from the NUVEL-1 and the NUVEL-1A global plate motion model, respectively.

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2020 The eastern portion of the Philippine island arc system, from the Bicol Peninsula through Leyte island to the Pacific Cordillera of east Mindanao, is the overriding plate underneath which the West Philippine Basin (part of the Philippine Sea Plate) and ...
