The Fiji Islands are part of an island arc formed by an ancient subduction zone, but the subduction zone is no longer active. At present, they are located in the backarc zone corresponding to the North New Hebrides and New Hebrides Trenches, in an area characterized by several small ocean basins with developing sea-floor spreading rifts. These include the Lau Basin to the east and the North Fiji Basin to the west of Fiji.
