Detailed explanation-2: -Measurement. Various geologic methods are used to define the boundaries of an active fault such as remote sensing and magnetic measurements, as well as other ways. Several types of data, such as seismologic reports or records over time, are used to gauge fault activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fault activity is assessed using geologic, geomorphic, geodetic, and seismologic data.

Detailed explanation-4: -Other active faults where earthquakes have been recorded include: Hope Fault (1888 North Canterbury earthquake) White Creek Fault (1929 Murchison earthquake) Edgecumbe Fault (1987 Edgecumbe earthquake)

Detailed explanation-5: -Active fault line #1. Marikina Valley Fault System. Active fault line #2. Western Philippine Fault Lines. Active fault line #3. Eastern Philippine Fault Lines. Active fault line #5. Central Philippine Fault Zone. 27-Jul-2022
