What do the surrounding trenches at the edges of the Philippines suggest? It suggests that _______________.
Answer:
he Philippines is lying above the continental-oceanic plate convergent boundary
Eurasian continental plate collides with the Philippine oceanic plate. Philippine sea plate subducted beneath the Eurasian continental plate. The depression of the seafloor brought by the subduction process created the trenches. The leading edge of the Philippine sea plate moves towards the mantle and melted. The melted materials rises up above the Eurasian plate and created the Philippine volcanic island parallel to the trench. This is the reason why Volcanoes can be found in most part of the Philippines from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
