“Lee said that research⟳ suggests the Philippines and Eurasia plates are converging at a speed⟳ of 8cm per year. However, Lee's continuous monitoring of the plate suture zone in the Huatung Valley connecting Hualien and Taitung suggests that the fault has contracted between 15cm and 20cm annually over the past five years.”

“The boundary between the two plates runs north-south through the East Rift Valley, also known as the Huatung Valley or the Longitudinal Valley.”
