It's a particularly active subduction zone where a sizeable Pacific Ocean crustal plate is being forced below the Asian continent.
Earthquakes are shocks from the stick-slip movement on the subduction's thrust-plane.
This is known as an aftershock.
It depends where you are.
It can cause tsunamis.
The Ruby Tower earthquake disaster in Teodora Alonzo happened in August 2, 1968.
Epicenter
because its near the equator, I think
A seaquake is a type of earthquake that occurs under the seafloor.
what are the environmental issues after the earth quake in the Philippines
The plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs is often along a fault line, where two tectonic plates are in contact. When stress builds up along the fault line and is released suddenly, it causes the plates to move, resulting in an earthquake.
Some of the notable earthquakes in the Philippines in 2001 include a series of earthquakes in Mindanao in February, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake in Samar in May, and a 6.4 magnitude earthquake in Batanes in July. These events resulted in varying degrees of damage and casualties.
what the earthquake is often going to be like : it will have a better chance of being more violent or less because they have earthquakes all the time
earthquake tsunami and typhoon
after shock
This is known as an aftershock.
It is movement of land beneath the sea, often it is a land slide that displaces water and produces the wave.
How often? Flooding occurs in the Philippines so many times. I can't tell you exactly but I think it happens for not more than 10 times a year. Last year we experienced Ondoy ( KETSANA ).
