Molucca Sea

The tectonic setting of the Molucca Sea region is unique.

The whole complexity is now known as the Molucca Sea Collision Zone.

The Molucca Sea is rich in coral and has many diving sites due to the deepness of its waters.

The earthquakes were caused by the continuing distortion of the Molucca Sea Plate.

This theory is more fully discussed in the article Molucca Sea Collision Zone.

The sea is a very seismically active area due to the Molucca Sea Plate.

The Molucca Sea is in the western Pacific Ocean, within the country of Indonesia.

The Molucca Sea Plate, the tectonic plate named after the sea, goes further north.

Their interrelationship constitutes the Molucca Sea Collision Zone.

I forgot to tell you that this was in the passage between the Molucca Sea and the Banda,' Galli said.

The Molucca Sea Collision Zone is the site of an orthogonal collision between two active subduction systems.

It struck six miles beneath the Molucca Sea and was centered 75 miles from the Maluku capital of Ternate.

The region is regularly rocked by large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as the Molucca Sea Plate is being consumed in both directions.

On 17 May 1958 Aurochs was patrolling the Molucca Sea off Indonesia when an unidentified aircraft machine-gunned her.

A transform boundary exists between the Bird's Head and the Molucca Sea Collision Zone to the southwest.

Tectonically they are located on the Halmahera Plate within the Molucca Sea Collision Zone.

The quake had a preliminary magnitude 6.6 and struck 55 miles beneath the Molucca Sea, the U.S. Geological Survey.

This was a self-proclaimed republic of seismically active islands in the Molucca Sea, whose residents fought for independence from Indonesia in the 1950s and 1960s.

The submarine put to sea on 3 July to patrol the Molucca Sea and Celebes Sea.

Greyhound and Harrier then sailed across the Molucca Sea to the island of Tidon in the Celebes.

Both Sangihe and Halmahera are exposed to the surface while the Molucca Sea plate is completely subsumed below these two microplates.

It is considered to belong to the Halmahera Plate tectonics, within the Molucca Sea Collision Zone.

This arc began erupting at around 11 Ma on Obi as a result of subduction of the Molucca Sea plate.

The existence of Sangihe as a tectonic plate separate from the Molucca Sea Plate is not yet entirely agreed upon by geologists.

The Molucca Sea borders the Banda Sea to the south and the Celebes Sea to the north.
