The Okinawa Trough is the deepest part of the East China Sea, extending from south-west Kyushu, Japan, to the Ilan Plain of north-eastern Taiwan.The southern part of the Okinawa Trough has the highest sedimentation rates of the trough because of an enormous supply of terrestrial material from the rivers of mainland China, as well as from rivers in the mountainous areas of Taiwan.The oceanography and climate of the Okinawa Trough and the ambient ocean currents are dominated by the prevailing East Asian monsoons and the Kuroshio Current.
