Philippine Sea Plate
The Philippine Plate is an oceanic tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean. It is similar to the Philippine Sea, northeast of the Philippines in their proportions.
The eastern side is a convergent plate boundary where the Pacific plate is pushed under the Philippine, which is identified by the bonuses trench, the Mariana Trench, the Yapgrabens and the Palau trench. The Philippine plate is bounded on the west by the Eurasian plate along the Nankai Trench in the north, the Ryukyu Trench to the northwest, the Manila Trench and the Philippine Trench in the southwest, in the south part of the Indo -Australian plate (Indian Plate, Australian Plate ), in the north of the North American plate, in the northeast of the Okhotsk plate.
The Izu Peninsula is the northernmost tip of the Philippine plate. The Filipino, the Eurasian and the Okhotsk Plate meet at the Fuji Mountains. This meeting is one of the main risk factors for a major earthquake in Tokyo. The Philippine plate pushes in the north- west under the Japanese island of Kyushu and the Ryukyu Islands.
