See the Mariana Trench and Challenger Deep entries. If Challenger Deep was discovered in 1951 how could the Phillipine Trench be considered the deepest until the 70's? Squad'nLeedah 11:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC) Statement removed. Squad'nLeedah 02:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which plate?[edit]

The article on the Manila Trench says the South China Sea part of the Eurasian Plate is being subducted beneath the Luzon Volcanic Arc part of the Philippine Sea Plate (at the Manila Trench subduction zone in the South China Sea). So from this it follows that the Philippines must be on the Philippine Sea Plate.

The article on the Philippine Trench says the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted under the Eurasian Plate (at the Philippine Trench subduction zone in the Pacific Ocean). So from this it follows that the Philippines must be on the Eurasian Plate.

Can an expert kindly unravel these conflicting statements please?
