The Java Trench, also known as the Sunda Trench, is a significant geological feature in the Indian Ocean, situated off the southwestern coast of Sumatra and Java in Indonesia. This trench plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamic processes of plate tectonics and the geological forces that shape our planet.
The trench stretches from the Lesser Sunda Islands past Java, around the southern coast of Sumatra to the Andaman Islands, and forms the boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasian Plate (more specifically, Sunda Plate).

1 paź 2019 · The Java Trench, also known as the Sunda Trench, is located south and west of the islands of Java and Sumatra in the eastern Indian Ocean, and is in excess of 3200 km in length. The trench is formed as the Indo-Australian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate, at a rate of between 60 and 73 mm per year (De Mets et al., 2010).
The proximal toe of the Bassein slide is marked by a solid black line and the distal toe by a dotted line. The approximate area that the slide affected is shown in grey 24. Sunda...
The location of the plate boundary is marked by the Sunda Trench, a narrow band of very deep water that parallels the Sumatran coast. Along the trench (lower left), the Australia plate is moving underneath (represented by a curved arrow) the Sunda Plate, forming a deep trough.
