with the news of frequent and violent earthquakes in Mendanao,What we can infer based off it?

Answer 1

Violent and Frequent earthquake in *Mindanao

From the frequent and violent earthquakes in Mindanao, we can infer that-

1)It is one of the most seismically active regions in the country because of the presence of several active faults.

2)The island’s proximity to major fault lines make it prone to earthquakes as well as volcanic activity.

3)There are several active volcanoes in Mindanao, such as Musuan Peak in Bukidnon, Matutum in South Cotabato and Ragang in Lanao del Sur, which last erupted in 1867, 1911 and 1916, respectively.

4)These volcanic activities cause movement of tectonic plates that cause the earth to tremble.
