Sunda subduction system

E207247
convergent plate boundary subduction zone tectonic plate boundary system

The Sunda subduction system is a major convergent plate boundary in Southeast Asia where the Indo-Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian/Sunda Plate, generating intense seismic and volcanic activity along Indonesia’s island arcs.
