Although subduction no longer occurs between these two plates, the subducted Australian Plate nevertheless remains highly seismic.

Structure and Evolution of the Australian Plate.

The motion and boundary between the Capricorn and Australian Plates.

Evolution and dynamics of the Australian Plate.

It is separated from the Australian Plate by a long divergent boundary which forms a back-arc basin.

The seamount was involved in a 2002 survey and collection project defined to find the end scope of the Australian Plate.

New Zealand is currently astride the convergent boundary between the Pacific and Australian Plates.

The Pacific Plate is colliding with the Australian Plate at a rate of about 40 mm/yr.

Both the subduction of the Australian Plate and the crust in the Flores Sea could be responsible for this activity.

However, there is a relative movement between the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate.
