Deadly Mindanao quake raised seabed, causing marine die-off
A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Mindanao, Philippines, has caused significant geological changes, including raising the seabed by up to two meters. This uplift has exposed coral reefs and led to a marine die-off, altering coastlines by extending them up to 200 meters in some areas. The seismic activity, originating from the Cotabato Trench, has been frequent in the region. AI
