Consumed tectonic plates in Southeast Asia: Markers from the Mesozoic to early Cenozoic stratigraphic units in the northern and central Philippines

Detached Pacific Slab Beneath the Philippine Sea Plate and Its Geodynamical Implications

“…According to our tomographic model, we infer that the detachment of the Pacific slab occurred in two stages and 10). At the first stage, the detached Pacific slab lied beneath the West Philippine Basin between 15° and 25°N (Figures 6i-6k and 7a-7h), concordant with the paleolatitudinal location of the Shikoku and Parece-Vela basins when they initiated at ∼30 Ma (Sdrolias et al, 2004) as suggested by reconstruction models (e.g., Queaño et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2016). At the second stage, the detached Pacific slab was suited between 16° and 20°N under the northern Mariana Trough (Figures 6i-6k and 7a-7h).…”

Coeval Evolution of the Eastern Philippine Sea Plate and the South China Sea in the Early Miocene: Paleomagnetic and Provenance Constraints From ODP Site 1177

“…Recently, Queaño et al. (2020) implicitly suggested that the SCS and the eastern PSP were geographically close to each other at ∼30 Ma but did not consider the possible dynamic linkage between the SCS and the eastern PSP.…”

“…However, these two models did not involve in the geographical affinity between the SCS and the Eastern PSP. Recently, Queaño et al (2020) implicitly suggested that the SCS and the eastern PSP were geographically close to each other at ∼30 Ma but did not consider the possible dynamic linkage between the SCS and the eastern PSP.…”

“…Located in the intersection of the Eurasian, Pacific and Indo‐Australian plates (Figure 1a), the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) and the South China Sea (SCS) have experienced complicated evolution history and are of great significance for reconstructing the global plate model, especially for the Southeast Asia and West Pacific regions (Hall, 2002; Lallemand, 2016; Queaño et al., 2020; Seton et al., 2012; Wu et al., 2016; Yin, 2010; Zahirovic et al., 2014).…”

The Early Miocene Provenance Shift of ODP Site 1177 and Implications for the Tectonic Evolution of the Shikoku Basin, Philippine Sea Plate

“…The Philippine Sea Plate is uniquely located among the Eurasian, Pacific, and Indo-Australian plates, and is of great importance to fundamental plate tectonic theory and global tectonic evolution (Hall, 2002;Reagan et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2016;Maunder et al, 2020;Sibuet et al, 2021). The Philippine Sea Plate is not only a natural laboratory for the study of plate tectonics on aspects of initial subduction, arc rifting, and back-arc spreading (Reagan et al, 2010;Arculus et al, 2015;Maunder et al, 2020;Chen et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021) but is also significant for the tectonic reconstruction of the West Pacific and East Asia (Hall, 2002;Zahirovic et al, 2014;Lallemand, 2016;Wu et al, 2016;Ma et al, 2019;Queaño et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021;Sibuet et al, 2021).…”
