7、The Philippines sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where continental plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.
4、When a continental plate come to rest over a hot spot, the material rising from deeper layer creates a broad dome.
2、A 60- by 60-mile segment of the Philippine oceanic plate ruptured and thrust itself against the Eurasian continental plate, releasing a massive burst of tectonic energy.
1、The oceanic plate is made of denser and heavier rock, so it begins to sink down under the continental plate and into the mantle.
3、They are fault metamorphic rocks formed in thrusting nappe structure inside continental plate during Variscan-Indonian Stage.
6、The northwestern tableland area has a continental plateau climate with long and chilly winter and cool humid summer.
5、When two continental plates collide, any one of them will deform and compress.
