While everyone talks about the Mariana Trench, the Philippine Trench is the third deepest place on Earth at 34,580 feet - but it's far more dangerous than its famous cousin. This underwater abyss sits directly beneath one of the world's most populated regions and generates some of the planet's most powerful earthquakes and devastating tsunamis. The trench has produced multiple magnitude 8+ earthquakes, including the catastrophic 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands. Scientists call it a "sleeping giant" that's overdue for a major awakening. Unlike other deep trenches, the Philippine Trench affects over 100 million people living nearby and sits on one of the most active fault systems in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Recent seismic activity shows increasing earthquake frequency, and researchers warn that the next major event could trigger a Pacific-wide tsunami reaching coastlines across the ocean.
