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).
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 ...

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.
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.
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.
Red line is the inter-plate thrust that intersects the sea floor along the Sunda Trench. Light yellow shaded area indicates the possible region where tsunami generated by earthquake will strike...
