TheMaoke Plateis a smalltectonic platelocated in westernNew Guineaunderlying theSudirman Rangefrom which the highest mountain on the island-Puncak Jayarises. To its east was proposed aconvergent boundarywith theWoodlark Plate,[1]although this is now best modelled after further studies as a boundary with an enlargedSolomon Sea Plateor a new microplate called the Trobriand Plate.[2][3]To the south lies atransform boundarywith theAustralian Plateand theBird's Head Platelies to the west.
