Philippine Sea Plate
The Philippine Sea Plate is a large, rigid segment of Earth's outer shell located beneath parts of the western Pacific Ocean, including the Philippine Sea. It is one of several tectonic plates that move and interact, causing geological activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The plate is constantly shifting slowly due to the Earth's internal forces, and its movement influences the geology and seismic activity of surrounding regions, including the Philippines and Japan. It plays a key role in the Earth's tectonic system, contributing to the dynamic and ever-changing nature of our planet's surface.
