When was DeepOcean created?
DeepOcean was created in 1999.
What are Deep underwater canyons called?
The oceans floor doesn't just keep getting wider instead the ocean floor plunges into deep underwater canyons called deepocean trenches.Where ever deep ocean trenches are there is subduction.
What landforms are associated with transform boundaries?
trenches
Which two geological features are associated with subduction?
trenches and volcanoes
What kind of plate boundary forms sea trenches?
Ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones, which are convergent plate boundaries.
What are ocean trenches associated with?
Deep ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones where an ocean plate descends into the asthenosphere. The Ocean plate is heavier than a Continental plate which causes the Ocean plate to slide beneath the Continental plate. As the Ocean plate descends, a deep ocean trench is formed.
What is the name of the large number of trenches and associated volcanic activity that lie along the margins of the Pacific Ocean?
The ring of fire
What is the effect of a convergant boundary?
When convergent plates collide one is pushed beneath the other plate and sinks into the Earth's mantle. This process is known as subduction. Subduction creates trenches in the ocean, which is why trenches and associated with convergent plates.
What are deep ocean trenches associated with?
Deep ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones where an ocean plate descends into the asthenosphere. The Ocean plate is heavier than a Continental plate which causes the Ocean plate to slide beneath the Continental plate. As the Ocean plate descends, a deep ocean trench is formed.
What causes earth inner heat?
Heat from the interior is the cause of plate tectonics and its associated results such as volcanism, trenches, and mountains building.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
