The Philippine Sea Plate is ringed by subduction zones and trenches, making the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan among the most seismically active places on Earth. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Philippine Sea Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
