Wikipedia definition
2. Nankai TroughThe Nankai Trough 南海トラフ is a submarine trough located south of Japan's island of Honshū, extending approximately 900 km offshore. In plate tectonics, the Nankai Trough marks a subduction zone that is caused by subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath Japan, part of the Eurasian plate (Kanda et al. , 2004). This plate boundary would be an oceanic trench except for a high flux of sediments that fills the trench.
