Many of the important and regionally significant structures of the central Philippines have extensions into the offshore regions of the Sibuyan and Visayan Seas (Fig. 476). For example, the Philippine Fault is accurately mapped as a continuous feature both within and between islands (Geological Map of the Philippines, 1963; Sarewitz and Lewis, 1991...
The Sulu Sea lies to the W of the islands of Panay and Negros, and the Celebes Sea lies SW of Mindanao (Fig. 476). Subduction of the Sulu Sea to the East beneath Panay and Negros at the Negros Trench has produced Pleistocene-Recent volcanism and deformation, while subduction of the Celebes Sea beneath SE Mindanao is the likely cause of young volcan...
Mindanao, the southernmost of the large islands of the Philippines, is composed of a collage of island arc and continental terranes that have amalgamated throughout the Late Mesozoic and the Tertiary (Hamilton, 1979; Hawkins et al., 1985; Pubellier et al., 1991). The three major physiographic uplands of Mindanao, the Zamboanga Peninsula, the Centra...
