Australia–Eurasia plate boundary
E745645
The Australia–Eurasia plate boundary is a major tectonic boundary where the Australian Plate converges with the Eurasian Plate, producing intense seismic activity, mountain building, and deep ocean trenches across regions such as Indonesia and the surrounding seas.
