Explanation:
The Philippines is located at the meeting point of two major tectonic plates. The Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate lie nestled beneath the archipelago in deep trenches that stretch along the country's western and eastern borders. Throughout history, the movement of tectonic plates has resulted in a great deal of earthquake activity and volcanic activity. According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, the nation has 24 active volcanoes. Mayon, Pinatubo, Taal, Hibok-Hibok, Bulusan, and Kanlaon are the six most active volcanoes based on recent activity.
