Philippines earthquake shifts seabed
The severe earthquake that recently struck the Philippines caused the sea floor to shift upward by about two meters, leading to the exposure of coral reefs and the destruction of the marine ecosystem. Over 40 people were lost on Mindanao Island, and the coastline in some areas elevated by as much as 200 meters. This geological phenomenon was triggered by the movement of the Cotabato Trench, which resulted in significant deterioration of the marine environment and contamination of the affected areas.
