	Oceanic trench - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Trenches along with volcanic arcs and zones of earthquakes that dip under the volcanic arc as deeply as 700 km are diagnostic of convergent plate boundaries and their deeper manifestations, subduction zones.
		Trenches are centerpieces of the distinctive physiography of a convergent plate margin.
		Trenches distant from an influx of continental sediments lack an accretionary prism, and the inner slope of such trenches is commonly composed of igneous or metamorphic rocks.

		Java is located in a chain of islands with Kalimantan (Borneo) to the north, Sumatra to the northwest, Bali to the east, Borneo to the northeast and Christmas Island to the south.
		Java is almost entirely of volcanic origin, and contains no fewer than thirty-eight mountains of that conical form which indicates their having at one time or other been active volcanoes.
		Java is also the most densely populated island in Indonesia, with nearly 60% of the overall population of the country residing there [1].

	java (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Java lies at the southern extremity of one of these plates, which during the Ice Ages formed a huge sub-continent encompassing all of Java, Bali, Borneo, Sumatra, Malaya and the intervening area that now lies submerged beneath the shallow Java Sea.
		The unpredictability of Java's volcanoes is well-illustrated by the eruption of Mt. Galunggung in West Java in 1982, which occurred after the volcano had lain dormant for centuries.
		The first Austronesian settlers in Java must have found an outstandingly fertile and suitable environment for their rice crops, and we may suppose that Java was among the most densely populated regions in Southeast Asia from this time onwards.

		With the exception of the 1994 mainshock, this portion of the Java trench is devoid of large, underthrusting earthquakes.
		The region near the trench is dominated by normal-faulting events.
		We computed the source spectrum of the Java earthquake at long periods using the CMT inversion procedure, and compared it with the spectrum at shorter periods from the slip inversion and also from Polet and Kanamori (2000).

	Inverted Mountains
		Trenches mostly lie parallel or adjacent to island arcs or mountain ranges of the continental margins.
		The trench margins are destructive because this is the region where the oceanic rocks are carried down after colliding with a continental plate.
		Trenches form and last long because the rate of the plates moving away or towards each other is just 1-2 inches per year.

		The Bay of Bengal is bordered to the north by a wide continental shelf that narrows to the south and by slopes of varying gradient on the northwest, north, and northeast, all cut by canyons from the rivers.
		Trenches lie mainly around the Pacific but also occur in the northern borders of the Indian Ocean, in the outer loops...

		The Aleutian Trench extends from the northernmost point in the Gulf of Alaska west to the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Soviet Union.
		The Aleutian Trench is effectively buried east of Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska.
		The landward or island-arc slope of the trench is often interrupted by a submarine ridge, which sometimes breaks the ocean surface, as in the case of the Java Trench.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Eastern Java-Bali rain forests (IM0113)
		This ecoregion represents the lowland moist forests of eastern Java and Bali in the Indonesian Archipelago.
		The climate in eastern Java and Bali is drier than in the western part of Java; therefore, the lowland forests are predominantly moist deciduous forests, with semi-evergreen rain forest along the south coast and dry deciduous forest along the north coast.
		Limestone forests on Java and Bali have basal areas similar to those of other lowland forest types and apparently contain no plant endemics, but because they often grow on steep slopes of shallow soils, their growth pattern is affected.

		The object of the deployment was to determine the MV signal for a classical subduction zone such as the Java Trench and to test the models of Jones et al.(1981) describing the expected MV response for different temperature distributions associated with subducted slabs.
		The induction vectors point to the nearest deep water and when the length of the real arrow is plotted as a function of distance from the 200 m bathometry contour, the resultant landward decay is seen to be no different than that found for young tectonic terranes.
		A similar decay is found for the Peru-Chile trench, in southern Chile (Aldrich, 1972).

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Western Java rain forests (IM0168)
		Twenty of the volcanoes on Java and Bali have been active in historic times, and they are among the most active volcanic islands in the world.
		Limestone forests on Java have basal areas similar to those of other lowland forest types and apparently contain no plant endemics, but because they often grow on steep slopes of shallow soils, their growth pattern is affected.
		Java is one of the most densely populated islands in the world, so it is not surprising that very little natural habitat remains here (MacKinnon and MacKinnon 1986).

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Western Java rain forests (IM0168)
		The Western Java Rain Forests [IM0168] are found on one of the most actively volcanic islands in the world.
		Truly born of fire, the island of Java is the result of the subduction and remelting of the Australian-Indian Ocean tectonic plate beneath the Eurasian tectonic plate at the Java trench.
		The natural forests in the lowlands of western Java once included several forest subtypes, including extensive evergreen rain forest, semi-evergreen rain forest, moist deciduous forest along the northern coast, and dry deciduous forest, also along the northern coast of the island.

	Plate tectonics subducted
		However, the striking similarity between the Java Trench acoustic stratigraphy and that of Pacific Ocean margins suggests that Units I and II correspond to the Precambrian, Unit III to the Paleozoic, Units IV and V to the Paleozoic–Mesozoic, Unit VI to the Mesozoic–Paleogene, and Unit VII to the Cenozoic (Choi, 2000; Smoot and Choi, 2003).
		The seismotomographic image (Figure 3) shows that the “descending plate” or “cold slab” (with faster seismic velocities) is missing under the Java Trench and the Indonesian arc.
		It is also noteworthy that rapid subsidence of the Pacific trenches in the Plio-Pleistocene has gone hand in hand with the rapid uplift of neighboring mountain ranges.

		One of the most surprising findings of the early oceanographers was that the deepest parts of the oceans were not in the centers, as they had expected, but were in fact quite close to the margins of continents, particularly in the Pacific Ocean.
		These trenches are one of the most striking features of the Pacific floor.
		The trenches have lengths of thousands of kilometers, are generally hundreds of kilometers wide, and extend 3 to 4 km (1.9—2.5 mi) deeper than the surrounding ocean floor.

		The Java Trench is here interpreted to be a zone of sinistral translational displacement between the South East Asian region and the Wharton Basin, relative to Australia.
		It is considered that the differential crustal extension and dextral motion of the Mediterranean and European continental regions relative to Asia gave rise to a sympathetic sinistral rotation of India relative to Asia during the Cenozoic.
		The eastern and northern margins are marked by subduction zones along the Peru-Chile Trench adjacent to South America; adjacent to North America; and the Aleutian Trench subduction zone flanked by the Aleutian Island arc.
