Makran Trench : ウィキペディア英語版 | Makran Trench The Makran Trench is the physiographic expression of a subduction zone which lies along the southwestern coast of Balochistan (Pakistan) and Iran, where the oceanic crust of the Arabian Plate is subducting beneath the continental crust of the Eurasian Plate. ==Tectonics== In the Makran region, the Arabian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate at ~4 cm/yr. This subduction is associated with an accretionary wedge of sediments which has developed since the Cenozoic. To the west, the Makran Trench is connected by the Minab Fault system to the Zagros fold and thrust belt. To the east, the Makran Trench is bounded by the transpressional strike-slip Ornach-Nal and Chaman Faults, which connect to the Himalayan orogeny.
