Talk:Japan Trench

message: Many tectonic maps, including two over at Plate tectonics, show the Japan trench as dividing the Pacific plate and the North American plate, not the Eurasian plate. A lot of off-site maps show the northern half of Japan (including Tokyo) as being on the North American plate. --75.58.54.17 17:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Oceanic crust is contrasted to continental crust, even though certain shallow seas rest on continental crust.  See oceanic crust. μηδείς (talk) 04:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: When was the Japan Trench identified as a geographic feature and named?  We might include who identified it also.  I am assuming it was discovered in the mid 20th century.  =  Randall Bart    Talk   05:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
