How to read this map
The Philippine Sea covers about 5,000,000 km² (1,930,000 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 10,911 m (35,797 ft). Countries with a coast on the Philippine Sea: Micronesia, the United States, Indonesia, Japan, Palau, the Philippines and Taiwan.
The blue outline marks the Philippine Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Tokyo, Shanghai, Osaka, Beijing, Manila, Seoul, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Labeled countries: Papua New Guinea, Japan, Philippines, North Korea and South Korea.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Philippine Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Philippine Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
