The Aleutian Trench (or Aleutian Trough) is an oceanic trench along a 
convergent <b>plate boundary</b> which runs along the southern coastline of Alaska 
and the <b>Aleutian islands</b>. The 1957 Andreanof Islands earthquake took place on March 9 with a moment 
magnitude of 8.6 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). It occurred 
south of the Andreanof Islands group, which is part of the <b>Aleutian Islands</b> arc.
