    Formation of the
    Philippine Archipelago
    Volcanic Island Arc

    achain of
    volcanoes that
    develop parallel
    to a trench
    Archipelago

    A scattered group of
    islands within the
    same body of water.
    The islands are
    considered part of a
    larger land mass.
    Formation of the Philippine
    Archipelago
    Many parts of the
    Philippines originated from
    oceanic-oceanic
    convergence. This resulted
    from the collision of two
    oceanic plates, with one of
    the plates diving under the
    other.

    TwoSeparate Pieces of
    Land
     Philippine Mobile Belt(part
    of Philippine Plate)
     Sundaland Block(part of
    high rise land of the
    Eurasian Plate
    Formation of the Philippine
    Archipelago
    Majority of the islands in the
    Philippine archipelago are
    considered as part of the
    Philippine Mobile Belt. These
    islands were formed 65 million
    years ago at the southern edge
    of the Philippine Sea Plate and
    are considered as part of island
    arcs.
    Formation of the Philippine
    Archipelago
    Other parts of the
    Philippines, such as
    Palawan, Mindoro, and
    the Zamboanga Peninsula
    are all highland sections
    of the Sundaland block of
    the Eurasian plate.

    Formation of the
    Philippine
    Archipelago.
     Aside from the formation of trenches and
    troughs, the downward movement of
    oceanic lithospheres underneath the
    Philippine Archipelago creates active
    volcanic chains. For example, the descent
    of the West Philippine Sea oceanic
    lithosphere along the Manila Trench
    created a volcanic chain from Taiwan to
    Mindoro.
     Some of the known active volcanoes in
    this chain are Pinatubo in Central Luzon
    and Taal in Batangas.
    Also,the constant dipping
    movement of slabs induces
    frequent moderate to strong
    earthquakes at various depths,
    gives rise to mountain ranges
    and develops the geologic
    character of the Philippine
    Archipelago.
    Do you think
    that the
    Philippine
    archipelago may
    still be changed
