straining against one another
suddenly fracture and “slip.”

Ring of Fire". Three tectonic plates
meet in the Philippines' underground.
The Ring of Fire is a major area in the
basin of the Pacific Ocean where a
large number of earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions occur.
The movements of these 3 tectonic
plates are the reason for the very
frequent earthquakes in the
Philippines.
We count 9 to 18 earthquakes per day.
Most of them are weak and nobody
feels them.

strong to devastating
earthquake shakes our islands.
