Subduction trench in the Sumatra-Andaman subduction zone in the eastern Indian Ocean
The Sumatra Trench is a part of the Sunda Trench or Java Trench. The Sunda subduction zone (called also: the Sumatra-Andaman subduction zone) is located in the east part of Indian Ocean, and is about 300 km (190 mi) from the southwest coast of Sumatra and Java islands. It extends over 5,000 km (3,100 mi) long, starting from Myanmar in the northwest and ending at Sumba Island in the southeast.[1]
