it supports the claim of
Alfred Wegener (1912)
that two (2) continents driftedsome 200 million years ago:
Laurasia
to the northern hemisphere and
Gondwanaland
tothe Southern Hemisphere
the Philippines is believed to have been part of the continent Laurasia
according to
Alfred Holmes (1944),
the two continents drifted as a result of pressure caused by volcanic eruptions in the ridges and in the center of the Pacific Oceanand Atlantic Ocean

PhilippinePlate
2.Pacific Theory
it supports the claim of
Dr. Bailey Willis
that the Philippines was formed due toeruptions of volcanoes in the periphery of the Pacific Basin of the Pacific Ocean as far asthe eastern part of Asia continent
such eruption of underwater volcanoes is called
volcanism
the eruptions of underwater volcanoes some 200 million years ago resulted in the piling up of extrusive or molten rocks causing the emergence of islands in the PacificOcean
the continuing process of volcanism formed the structural foundation of thePhilippines3.Asiatic Theory
according to this theory, the Philippines was not part of the continental shelf of Asia
it claims that two (2) processes of
diastrophism
namely,
upfolding
and
upthrustfaulting
caused the rising (or emergence) and formation of the Philippine archipelago,and all mountains in the archipelago
this occurred during the
Paleozoic Era
some 200 million years ago5. Land Bridges Theory
the formation of glacier in many parts of the world resulted in ice sheets to cover a great portion of North America, Europe and Asia
according to this theory, all the islands in the Philippines were connected to eachother and that others were even connected to nearby countries in Southeast Asia by land bridges
