Philippine Fault System
The Philippine Fault System is an inter-related system of faults throughout the whole of the Philippine Archipelago,〔Nicolas Pinet and Jean Francois Stephan (1989) in ''Tectonics of Circum-Pacific Continental Margins'' ISBN 90-6764-132-4 p170〕 primarily caused by tectonic forces compressing the Philippines into what geophysicists call the Philippine Mobile Belt.〔Rangin and Pubellier (1990) in ''Tectonics of Circum-Pacific Continental Margins'' ISBN 90-6764-132-4 p140 ff〕
== Philippine Mobile Belt ==
The Philippine Mobile Belt is composed of a large number of accretionary blocks and strips. Most strips are long and narrow like the Zambales ophiolites which is at least 400 km long and 50 km wide. The strips generally run north-south and the zones of convergence are usually demarcated by fault lines. The Philippine Mobile Belt is compressed on the west by the Eurasian Plate and two arms of the Sunda Plate, and on the east by the Philippine Sea Plate. These tectonic plates have compressed and lifted parts of the Philippines causing extensive faulting, primarily on a north-south axis. All faults in the Philippines are inter-related by the tectonic forces of the Philippine Mobile Belt, or its tectonic induced volcanism. A more complete understanding can be gained by viewing the faults in the Philippines as an inter-related Philippine Fault System.
