The Timor Sea, in the Indian Ocean, is bordered by Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Australia & the Arafura Sea. Known for its shallow waters & the deep Timor Trough, it’s part of the Ring of Fire, experiencing earthquakes & cyclones. Rich in oil & gas, it’s been a source of international dispute, culminating in treaties between Australia & Timor-Leste. Historically significant as a possible route for early human migration to Australia, the sea also saw WWII air raids & faced a major oil spill in 2009.Wikipedia
