In geology, a trench is a linear and relatively narrow valley created at the boundaries of two colliding plates. The valley is created by the subduction, or process of moving under, of the more dense plate. The valley can be created in oceanic plate to oceanic plate collisions, or oceanic to continental plate collisions. The Marianas Trench is site of the lowest point on Earth's surface at around 36,000 feet below sea level.

What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
What is formed as a result of the plate movement in?
Mountains,volcanoes,trenches,earthquakes,faults,mid-ocean ridges ,rift valleys, widened ocean basins, and deep sea vents are all examples of geological features and events formed by plate movement. Hope this helped!
Are volcanoes where new faults are formed?
yes

What are the difference between trenches and faults?
A fault is a crack from stress within the Earth. A trench is formed by subduction zones and is usually deeper and wider.

Many of these faults occurred when the Sierra Nevadas were formed?
Normal faults
How deep trenches are formed?
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.

What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
What are formed along subduction zones?
trenches
Are volcanoes where new faults are formed?
yes
What they form when the plates moves slowly?
trenches or mountains or rift valleys or faults depends which direction the plates move
