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 ...
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).

Abstract: 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.
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 .
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.
