Philippines earthquake lifts seabed by two meters
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the Philippines, causing the seabed to rise by two meters and exposing coral reefs. The disaster resulted in the death of 61 people and the disappearance of 40 others. The movement of the Cotabato Trench elevated parts of the coast in Mindanao, leading to environmental destruction in the marine ecosystem and a retreat of the waters, leaving visible impacts on the coral reefs, fish, and other aquatic creatures.
