Location of the study area where the Philippine Sea plate subducts on top of the Pacific plate. (A) Color-shaded global bathymetry and topography map (ETOPO1 Global Relief Model dataset45). The figure was created with the open source software ParaView (http://www.paraview.org) version 5.0.1, licensed under the CC BY 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). The study area is marked by the white rectangle. (B) 3-D view of the study area. Red curves mark the main plate boundary. All 3-D models are visualized from a northwest to southeast viewing angle. (C) Geometry of the Pacific and Philippine Sea slabs corresponding to the study area. (D) Pacific oceanic crust seismicity (from the unified hypocenter data catalogue (1997.10-2015.2) with magnitude no less than 2.0 from Japan Meteorological Agency) plotted on top of the slab (red dots). The Philippine Sea plate is shown as semitransparent surface. Dark blue rubber bands mark the updip and downdip limit of the crustal seismicity. PP- Pacific Plate, PSP – Philippine Sea Plate.
