Are oceanic plates only made up of oceanic crust?
yes but oceanic crust is younger than continental crust because of deep sea trenches
Where are oceanic trenches?
plate tectonics
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.
What are 2 landforms that are created at by oceanic oceanic crust?
Trenches and undersea mountains :)
What are offshore trenches?
Offshore trenches, also known as oceanic trenches, are depressions in the sea floor. They are the deepest parts of the ocean floor.

What causes oceanic trenches?
Deep ocean trenches are made where one plate is submerged under another

What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath the trenches?
Subduction.
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
Oceanic crust returns to the mantle at deep ocean trenches which are?
rocks
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
What is the land forms produced underwater caused by the movement of oceanic plate?
Mid oceanic ridges and deep sea trenches.
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
