How are trenches and mountains ranges connected?
Trenches and mountain ranges are both formed by tectonic plate movements. Trenches are formed where one tectonic plate is subducted under another, creating deep oceanic trenches. Mountain ranges are formed when tectonic plates collide, pushing up the Earth's crust to form high elevations.
Where do trenches form?
Treches are formed when an ocean plate subducts under a continental plate.
What does the collision of a continental plate and an oceanic plate produce?
when two plates collide they form trenches.
Which land features form at convergent boundaries when one plate is pushed underneath another?
trenches
What type of plate boundarys form?
Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries involving at least one oceanic plate, where the more dense plate subducts under the less dense plate.
Where do ocean trenches occur?
At spreading centers.
Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
What forms from convergent boundaries?
At convergent plate boundaries, mountains and volcanoes form. That goes for continent to continent collisions and ocean to continent collisions. However, trenches, like the Mariana Trench are formed when two oceans collide.
Where in geographic location is oceanic plate found?
Oceanic plates form the 'floors' of the worlds oceans.
Could the collision of one continental plate with another may produce oceans?
No, they form mountains.
What deep-ocean feature forms at subduction zones?
In a subduction zone an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate or another oceanic plate. The subduction plate introduces water into the mantle, lowering melting temperatures and generating magma. This causes volcanoes, usually stratovolcanoes, to form on the overriding plate. If the overriding plate is continental a mountain range may develop.
What kind of landforms are formed at transform plate boundaries?
there are many landforms such as volcanoes moutains little islands and trenches may also form at the transformation plate boundaries. i think this is the answer
