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 ).
20 lut 2023 · Active subduction at the Sunda trench is the principal driver of ongoing India-Asia convergence and Indian indentation. Our models predict that lateral subduction zones lead to mountain growth like the Himalaya over tens of millions of years.
1 gru 2014 · Map of the main crustal entities of Sundaland by the Early Paleogene. Red color represents the Late Cretaceous magmatic cordilleras surrounding the undeformed core of the plate (kaki color). Light brown color is for suspected accreted terranes of Gondwanian origin.
Download scientific diagram | A regional map showing the Sunda trench, the Sumatran Fault System (SFS) and the Sagaing fault, which between them absorb the convergence of the India-Australia...
The Sunda plate includes the South China Sea, the Andaman Sea, southern parts of Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and Thailand along with Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, southern Philippines, and the islands of Bali, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and part of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
Western Sundaland was a combination of basin opening and strike-slip transpressional deformation. The configuration suggests a free boundary particularly to the east (trench pull associated with the Proto-South China Sea subduction; JavaeSulawesi trench subduction rollback).
