Abstract
The Philippine lithospheric plate is located in the zone of intensive mutual interaction between geosystems that affect the evolution of different geospheres (envelopes); at the same time, this is also one of the world regions with the highest degree of various natural hazards. The present study of temporal variations in natural catastrophes in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is based on a hypothesis about a mutual relationship between strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tropical atmospheric eddies in the regions of complex and high instability of the geospheres.
