The North Philippine Sea is characterized by both topographic and tectonic complexities formed by the convergence of the Pacific and the Eurasian plates. This region contains an active trench and island arc (Bonin Trench, Bonin Islands), remnant arcs (Kyushu-Palau Ridge, Daito Ridge, Oki-Daito Ridge), and inactive back-arc and inter-arc basins (Shikoku Basin, Daito Basin, northwest Philippine Sea). The geological history of the area is also complex because of changing patterns of subduction (Hilde et al., 1977; Kobayashi and Isezaki, 1976; Kobayashi and Nakada, 1977, 1978; Watts and Weissel, 1975; Tomoda et al., 1975; Shiki et al., 1975; Mizuno et al., 1975, 1979). Leg 58 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project concentrated on two areas of this complex region, the Shikoku Basin and the Daito Ridge and Basin province (Figure 1). Each is discussed in separate sections below.
