Red star shows the epicentre of the 2004 earthquake and the brown shaded region shows the rupture zone. The proximal toe of the Bassein slide is marked by a solid black line and the distal toe...
4 gru 2020 · The convergence angle east of the Sunda Strait is almost perpendicular to the Java trench, whereas that to the west is oblique to the Sumatra trench (Figure 1). This transition in plate convergence is also reflected by the differences in tectonic developments.
Coordinates: 10°19′S 109°58′E. The Sunda Trench, earlier known as and sometimes still indicated as the Java Trench, [1] is an oceanic trench located in the Indian Ocean near Sumatra, formed where the Australian - Capricorn plates subduct under a part of the Eurasian Plate.
2 mar 2006 · These data show that the earthquake was generated by rupture of the Sunda subduction megathrust over a distance of >1,500 kilometres and a width of <150 kilometres.
Sunda Trench. The Sunda Trench is a subduction zone extending in an arch from the Northwestern tip of Sumatra to Flores in Eastern Indonesia. A strong earthquake in this zone can generate a tsunami that arrives at the coast within 20 minutes, leaving little time for issuing an early warning.
20 lut 2023 · The pull of the lateral subducting slabs drives the northward indentation of India into Asia, while the trench retreat of the Sunda and Makran subduction zones promotes widespread extension within Asia, east and west of the collisional boundary.
26 gru 2004 · Underthrusting along the Sunda trench, with some right-lateral faulting on the inland Sumatra Fault, accommodates interplate motion along Sumatra.
