The Philippines are located on the Philippine Belt, a complex system of converging and subducting tectonic plates, the Philippines Microplate. Not only that but it is set on the seam where the Philippines Plate is subducted under the Eurasian Plate. It is in very active tectonic plate zone. The earths crust is made up of many hard plates, constantly moving and pulling apart. Hwne these plates move under us, it creates groundshaking, also known as earthquakes.
