what types of convergence takes places in the formation of Philippines
Answer (1)
In the formation of the Philippines, the type of convergence that took place is called oceanic–oceanic plate convergence.Here’s why:The Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate (particularly the Sunda Plate) interacted through subduction zones.When two oceanic plates converge, one plate is forced under the other, creating deep ocean trenches (like the Philippine Trench and the Manila Trench) and volcanic island arcs.This process over millions of years formed the Philippine archipelago — a chain of islands created by volcanic activity and uplift due to plate movements.Example: The collision and subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate helped form Luzon and other islands, while the reverse subduction in some areas shaped Mindanao’s mountains and volcanoes.
