Associated seismicity. The subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath a bloc of the Eurasian Plate is associated with numerous earthquakes. Several of these earthquakes are notable for their size, associated tsunamis, and/or the number of fatalities they caused.
This includes both faulting along the plate interfaces and within the subducting slabs. For the Philippine Trench, examples of those on the plate interface are the 1988 M w 7.3 and the 2023 M7.6 events. The 1975 M w 7.6 earthquake was caused by intra-slab normal faulting, while the 2012 M7.6 was a result of thrust faulting within the descending ...
The Indo-Australian plate dips beneath the Sunda plate along the Sunda Trench also known as Java Trench, which generates frequent earthquakes and tsunamis. [1] The plate margin between the lower Indo-Australian plate and the upper Sunda plate, features a unique form of subduction near the island of Timor.
8 cze 2005 · The massive earthquake that struck off the west coast of Sumatra on 28 March, causing fears of another tsunami disaster, is confirmed as a rupture of the Sunda megathrust triggered by the...
The study is focused on the Sunda Trench (also earlier called Java Trench), the deepest oceanic depression of the Indian Ocean, stretching 4–5 km parallel to the Sunda Island Arc, along its foot (Becker et al., 2009).
9 gru 2013 · On the west side of Luzon, the Sunda Plate subducts eastward along a series of trenches, including the Manila Trench in the north, the smaller Negros Trench in the central Philippines, and the Sulu and Cotabato trenches in the south.
8 lis 2023 · On 18 November 2022, a strong earthquake occurred in the near trench of Sunda Arc southwest of southern Sumatra, generating a small tsunami recorded at four tide gauge stations (KRUI, BINT, SBLT, and SIKA).
