Abstract:
Southeast Asia is located at the junction of four plates: the Eurasian, Indian Ocean/Australian, Pacific, and Philippine Sea plates. Their interaction during Tertiary times resulted in a complex active margin composed of a mosaic of small geotectonic units such as microcontinental blocks, island arcs, and marginal seas. The Sulu Sea is an example of a marginal sea with two distinct basins of different types: (1) the Outer Sulu Sea basin, formed inside an old island arc, the Palawan arc; (2) the Inner Sulu Sea, a basin with an oceanic crust. It is fringed to the southeast and the east by an active margin, supposedly the remains of a larger active margin which during Tertiary times extended along the western side of the Philippines from Luzon to Negros and perhaps from the ulu Archipelago to the northeastern part of Sabah.
