... the Sunda Trench stretching over 8,000 km from the northwestern boundary of southeast Asia to the eastern part of Timor island (A , Fig. 2); the Philippines Trench stretching over 3,000...
The Sunda Plate (also known as the Sundaland Block) is surrounded in every direction by tectonically active convergent boundaries, below which are subducting: the Phillippine Sea Plate to the East, and the Indo-Australian Plate to the South.
The map reveals typical features of a subduction zone: an oceanic trench, a fore-arc ridge, a fore-arc basin, and an island arc. The location of the plate boundary is marked by the Sunda Trench, a narrow band of very deep water that parallels the Sumatran coast.
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 ...
