A trench located off the eastern coast of the southern Philippine Islands. It is about 60 kilometers wide and 1,400 kilometers long. It is a large trench that includes two deepest points: the Emden Deep, at 10,057 meters, and the Cape Johnson Deep, at 10,497 meters. It is thought to have been formed when the Philippine Plate subducted under the Southeast Asian Plate.
