31 gru 2020 · The paper discusses the geomorphology of the Sunda Trench, an oceanic trench located in the eastern Indian Ocean along the Sumatra and Java Islands of the Indonesian archipelago.
Sunda Double Trench. Java Trench, deep submarine depression in the eastern Indian Ocean that extends some 2,000 miles (3,200 km) in a northwest-southeast arc along the southwestern and southern Indonesian archipelago. It is located about 190 miles (305 km) off the southwestern coasts of the islands of Sumatra and Java, stretching eastward south ...
This 1900 km-long active strike-slip fault zone runs along the backbone of Sumatra pose seismic and fault hazards to dense population on and around the fault zones. The Sumatran fault is highly segmented, and consists of 20 major geometrically defined segments, which range in length from about 60 to 200 km.
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 ).
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.
Regional map of Sumatra subduction zone and rupture areas of past great earthquakes [13]. Red line is the inter-plate thrust that intersects the sea floor along the Sunda Trench.
It is interpreted as Australian and Indian plate lithosphere that is actively subducting northward below Sundaland, along the Sumatra and Java trenches. To the northwest it is disconnected through a slab window below the Andaman Islands from the Burma slab.In the East it connects to the Banda slab. In the west, tomographic images show that the ...
