Plates float on the surface of the mantle. which plate pushes the Philippine plate toward the eurasian plate?
Answers
Pacific plate pushes the Philippine plate toward the Eurasian plate
Explanation:
The Philippine sea plate is a tectonic plate comprising oceanic lithosphere that lies beneath the Philippine sea, to the east of the Philippines. Most segments of the Philippines, including northern Luzon, are part of Philippine Mobile Belt, which is geologically and tectonically separate from the Philippine Sea Plate.
The Eurasian plate is tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of Eurasia, (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of Europe and Asia)
The PH plate produces a strong compression to the Eurasian plate along the Nankai trough.
The Pacific plates floats on the surface of the mantle that pushes the Philippines plate towards the Eurasian plate. Beneath the Philippine sea plate the Pacific plate subducts to the east. The Philippines sea plate is peculiar tectonically, and all of the considered boundaries are convergent
