Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Japan Trench (日本海溝, Nihon Kaikō) is an oceanic trench, and part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It extends from the Kuril Islands to the Ogasawara Islands and is 9,000 meters (30,000 ft) at its deepest. It is an extension of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench to its north and the Izu-Ogasawara Trench to its south. This trench is created when the Oceanic Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Continental Eurasian Plate. The subduction process, together with the friction created, 'drags' the oceanic plate underneath the continental plate which Japan sits on, causing a deep-sea trench to be formed. The interactions of the tectonic plates at the Japan Trench is one of the reasons why tsunamis and earthquakes in Japan are relatively frequent. |
