Formation of the Philippine Islands The Indo-Australian plate is found south of the Eurasian and the Philippine Seaplates. It is generally oceanic‚ being submerged by Indian and Pacific Oceans‚ but it holds two gigantic land masses – the island continent of Australia and Indian subcontinent. Recent researches‚ however‚ show that these two land masses are moving independently of each other‚ thus‚ may actually be parts of separate plates. The Philippine Sea plate is found east of the Eurasian

The author asserts that Palean baskets were not only originated from Palea‚ but also from Lithos. The reason is‚ there is a Brim River‚ which is very deep and broad‚ between the Palea and Lithos. And there is no evidence shows that about Palean boats to cross the river. However‚ I think the author should consider more details to support this claim. To begin with‚ the article does not mention about whether the geography in ancient is as same as now. We all know that it is possible that continent

begin to wonder why such places as California or Japan have so many earthquakes‚ whereas the north eastern United States or Western Europe have so few. The fact is that earthquakes occur along belts and the vast majority of these belts lie on the boundaries of the earth’s tectonic plates. The same is true of volcanoes and locations known for earthquakes‚ such as the Philippines‚ have many volcanoes.The Hawaiian Islands are located near the centre of the Pacific Plate. These islands of Hawaii experience

energy and then bounced off the heated ionosphere to various customers around the globe in remote places to save on costs of piping these reserves and also for surveillance purposes like detecting missiles. Japan is situated in a complicated plate boundary region where three subduction zones meet. Two of these subduction zones run parallel to the east coast of Japan. To the south‚ the Philippine plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate‚ whilst to the north; the Pacific Plate is being subducted

north-eastern coast. The reason behind this catastrophe was because Japan is located on the east edge of the Eurasian Plate‚ therefore the Oceanic Pacific Plate was subducted under the Eurasian Plate. This plate margin is known as a Destructive plate boundary. The reason behind the huge 9 magintude earthqauke is because when the Oceanic Plate was being subducted under the Eurasian Plate‚ tension was built up‚ the tension then became too much for the plates to hold‚

The Grand Canyon was once a part of a continental collision about 1.7 billion years ago when volcanic islands collided in the south west of America‚ where the North American plate is now. Mountain building occurred about 75 million years ago when the uplift of almost 2 miles in the region‚ (called a Laramide orogeny event) started and created the Colorado Plateau. The rocks in the Grand Canyon were igneous or sedimentary rocks before the collision of tectonic plates. The collision pushed the plates
