Composition of bottom sediments and rocks from the Philippine Trough

Listed in PANGAEA

New data on bottom sediments and igneous rocks of the Philippine Trench are under consideration.

Description

They show differences in geological structures of the island slope and the ocean slope of the trench. The island slope is comparable to the accretionary prism formations on the Philippines; there processes of gravitational re-deposition of sediments occur.

The ocean slope is an edge of the Philippine Plate sinking into the trough, where basalts of the oceanic crust are exposed.
