Deep ocean trenches can be found near continental shelves. Some are found near volcanic islands, and are formed due to plate tectonics.

Where are the most vaconoes at?
In the ring of fire surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Running down the W of the Americas, westwards through the coast of Antarctica (many sparse gaps), then up through New Zealand the then through the Pacific (Tonga and the Philippines have the famous deep trenches), then further north through Japan and on to Alaska.
Is erosion the most important geological process on Venus?
Erosion is the most important geological process on Venus. In the inner Solar System, the largest surface features are found on the largest planets. The process in which one plate slides under another is called subduction and is marked by deep ocean trenches.
What color is Atlantis?
If it exists most is probably brown. It is theorized to be at the bottom of the ocean.
Does a tornado come from the ocean?
Not usually. Most tornadoes form over land.
Where are most astroids located?
In the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Pacific. (it is the last option to bubble in)
In which ocean basin are most trenches found?
the pacific ocean
Where is the most food in the open ocean found?

Where is an ocean trench most likely to form?
Ocean trenches form at areas of subduction.
Are most volcanoes form on land?
nope, ocean trenches
Which coast represents an active continental margin?
Most of the trenches are located along the margin of the pacific ocean. Ex. the west coast of South America
Where are deep submarine trenches the most abundant?
Deep trenches are most likely to be found in the western Pacific Ocean, generally the arc between Tonga and the Philippines.
Why are most oceanic trenches found in the pacific ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is part of the Ring of Fire. The ring of fire is underwater trenches made my moving plates. The plates pushed on each other and eventually moved downward, creating trenches
Deep-oceanic trenches are most abundant around the rim of the?
Deep-oceanic trenches are most abundant around the rim of the Pacific. Deep ocean trenches are surficial evidence for sinking of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at a subduction zone.
Which regions are thought to be the most level place on earth?
The Abyssal plains.
Where were trenches in position to the enemy?
During World War I, trenches were for the most part located directly in front of the enemy's projected line of attack. Where possible, trenches were also located to the sides of enemy positions; however, many trenches (such as those used for supply- and communication-purposes) extended backwards from the front lines.
