In the absence of a trench-trench transform fault, several authors have suggested that left-lateral shear on the Philippine fault accommodates one component of motion between the Philippine and Eurasian plates. This suggestion is tested in this study by calculating and comparing seismic slip on these three features, through the use of the method of Brune, and a moment versus magnitude relationship developed for the Philippines. It appears from this quantitative study that rate of motion on the Philippine fault is comparable to the slip of the two plates. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
