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...
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.
A series of mega subduction zones: 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...
A Map of the Sunda Trench, showing the position of Anak Krakatau at an inflection point in the subduction of the Indo-Australian plate beneath Eurasia.
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 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).
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 ...
