Which plate?[edit]

The article on the Manila Trench says the South China Sea part of the Eurasian Plate is being subducted beneath the Luzon Volcanic Arc part of the Philippine Sea Plate (at the Manila Trench subduction zone in the South China Sea). So from this it follows that the Philippines must be on the Philippine Sea Plate.

The article on the Philippine Trench says the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted under the Eurasian Plate (at the Philippine Trench subduction zone in the Pacific Ocean). So from this it follows that the Philippines must be on the Eurasian Plate.

Can an expert kindly unravel these conflicting statements please?

The confusion comes from the fact that the Philippine Islands are part of the [Philippine Mobile Belt], which is not a part of either the Philippine Sea Plate or the Eurasian Plate (or the Sunda Plate, which is a subdivision of the Eurasian Plate). Both articles appear to have been modified accordingly since the above comment was made. A map and a bit more tectonic background would definitely help this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elriana (talk • contribs) 02:03, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
