The fault plane solutions of this earthquake suggested that there is a sliver of crust off the east coast of Taiwan other than the Philippine Sea plate. The map of shallow earthquakes shows that the Philippines are encircled by a zone of seismicity. There is a difference between the slip direction on the east coast of the Philippines and the relative motion between the Philippine Sea plate and the Eurasian plate. Together with other evidences, it has been suggested that most of the Philippines might belong to a minor plate other than the Eurasian plate.http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/seno/Papers/tecphys1977.phs.pdf 2011-11-24 2012-05-18 https://web.archive.org/web/20120518051851/http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/seno/Papers/tecphys1977.phs.pdf dead 10.1016/0040-1951(77)90168-8 The instantaneous rotation vector of the Philippine sea plate relative to the Eurasian plate 1977 Seno Tetsuzo Tectonophysics 42 2–4 209–226 1977Tectp..42..209S See also List of earthquakes in 1966 List of earthquakes in Taiwan References External links 849160 Hualien Earthquake, 1966 Category:Megathrust earthquakes in Taiwan Category:1960s tsunamis Category:1966 in Taiwan Category:Tsunamis in Taiwan
