What type of plate is the Philippines plate?
The Philippine Trench (also known as the Manila Trench) is a deep underwater trench that is caused by the collision of two tectonic plates (the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate) east of the Luzon island of the Philippines. The Eurasian Plate is subducting underneath the Philippine Sea Plate at a rate of approx. 16 cm/year. This tectonic activity causes most of the volcanic activity on Luzon, including the cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.
What is the plate tectonic setting of Mount Pinatubo?
Mount Pinatubo is above a subduction zone from the philippine plate and the Eurasian Plate, The Philippine Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate because it is more dense.
What landforms form at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary?
The landforms that could develop at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary includes; Rifts and Volcanic Mountains.
The rate of speed in which the Pacific and Philippine plate are moving?
The Pacific plate is moving at a rate of speed of 8.10 cm per year. The Philippine plate is moving at a rate of speed of 6.35 cm per year.
What are the names of the plates surrounding mount Pinatubo?
The Philippine plate slid under the Eurasian plate.
How is the Philippine archipelago formed?
The Philippine archipelago is primarily formed through tectonic plate movements along the boundaries of the Philippine Sea Plate, Eurasian Plate, Pacific Plate, and the small Philippine Mobile Belt. The collision and subduction of these plates result in the formation of volcanic arcs, trenches, and uplifted regions, creating the diverse landforms and islands that make up the Philippine archipelago.
What type of landforms have been created in Hawaii because of plate movement?
volcanoes
What plate is Philippine?
in the top of the Australian plate
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are .?

What causes the creation of various landforms at plate boundaries?
Plate movements.
What are the volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries called?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
How did michigans landforms form?

What kind of landforms can destructive plate movement cause?
Mountains, Continents, Volcanoes, Islands, and Fault Lines are the 5 landforms caused by plate movement.

What forms at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
How does plate tectonics change landforms?
mountains, mountain ranges, volcanoes and many other landforms.
