Burma Plate

The Burma plate is a minor tectonic plate or microplate located in Southeast Asia, sometimes considered a part of the larger Eurasian plate. It is situated east of the India plate and west of the Sunda plate, and is characterized by a transform boundary running in a north-south line through the Andaman Sea. The plate is subducting beneath the western facet of the Burma plate, resulting in the formation of the Sunda Trench. The Burma plate has undergone significant tectonic activity in the past, including the formation of the Andaman Sea, which is thought to have begun approximately 4 million years ago. In recent times, the plate has been involved in a series of large earthquakes, including the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, which had a magnitude of 9.1-9.3 and resulted in significant loss of life.learn more on wikipedia
