Sumatra Trench Sumatra Trench The Sumatra Trench belongs to 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 from the southwest coast of Sumatra and Java islands. It extends over 5000 km long, starting from Burma in the northwest and ending at Sumba Island in the southeast. The Java trench was generated by the oblique subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate into the Sunda plate at a rate of 61mm/y (in the south) and 51mm/y (in the north). The oceanic crust being
Puerto Rico Trench assigned to genus "Peniagone". The other individual, a small crustacean, is tentatively identified as a "munnposid" "isopod", based on morphology and similar walking and jumping movements observed for other hadal "munnopsid" "isopods". Because these individual were not collected, it is not possible to obtain species-level identifications. However, these sightings likely exceed the deepest known records for genus "Peniagone" and family "Munnopsidae". Puerto Rico Trench The Puerto Rico Trench is located on the boundary between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The oceanic trench is associated with a complex transition between the Lesser Antilles subduction zone to the south and
