Japan Trench

The Japan Trench subduction zone has hosted nine events of magnitude 7 or greater since 1973.

The deepest seep community discovered thus far is located in the Japan Trench, at a depth of 7700 meters.

In 2011, was performed around the Japan Trench which is epicenter of Tōhoku earthquake.

The Izu-Ogasawara Trench is an extension of the Japan Trench.

The epicenter of lies just to the west of the Japan Trench, the surface expression of the west-dipping subduction zone.

Here the Japan Trench effectively branches to form the Ryuku and Bonia arcs.

This earthquake was located near the junction of the Kuril Trench and the Japan Trench.

"Sure-the Philippine Trench and Japan Trench are almost six and a half miles deep," Tom replied.

The March 11, 2011 earthquake far surpassed other post-1900 plate-boundary thrust-fault earthquakes in the southern Japan Trench, none of which attained M8.

The rupture zone is roughly centered on the earthquake epicenter along-strike, while peak slips were up-dip of the hypocenter, towards the Japan Trench axis.

It is the result of the subduction of the Pacific Plate underneath the Okhotsk Plate at the Japan Trench.

It is the easternmost territory belonging to Japan, and the only Japanese territory on the Pacific Plate, past the Japan Trench.

The quake occurred along a segment of fault that creates the Japan Trench, where the Pacific plate slides underneath the one that plays host to Japan.

In 2008, the hadal snailfish (Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis) was observed and recorded at a depth of 7700 meters in the Japan Trench.

It lies off the southeast coast of Kamchatka and parallels the Kuril Island chain to meet the Japan Trench east of Hokkaido.

New in the 'Old and Cold' About a decade ago, Japanese scientists exploring the seafloor near the Japan Trench in the northwestern Pacific made a surprising finding.

Meanwhile, the scientists of Crisis Control Intelligence (CCI) find a sixty million year old UFO deep in the Japan Trench.

The plate interface in the area of the earthquake epicenter shows an abrupt increase in dip from about 5 to about 15 , 80 km landward of the Japan Trench.

When the plates at the Japan Trench stick, the edge of the North American plate (which contains Japan) is pushed downward, while the pressure pushes the nearby terrain slightly upwards.

The northeastern part of Honshū lies above the subduction zone that forms the Japan Trench, where the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the Okhotsk Plate.

This excerpt from a 2007 scientific paper about crustaceans of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench and the Japan Trench describes typical circumstances through which this category is applied in discussing:

The Japan Trench is an oceanic trench, a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, in the floor of the northern Pacific Ocean off northeast Japan.

The researchers call them "petit spot" volcanoes and say they occur in areas where the Pacific plate has cracked as it bends and slides under the Japan Trench, in a process called subduction.

It stretches from the Boso Triple Junction where it meets the Japan Trench to Sagami Bay, where it meets the Nankai Trough.

It is formed from the junction of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc where the Izu-Bonin Trench meets with the Japan Trench and the Sagami Trench.
