What kind of plate was the marianas trench made on?
The Mariana Trench is on two tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate and the Mariana Plate. The Pacific Plate is beneath the Mariana Plate by subduction.
What tectonic plates are involved with Torga trench?
The Mariana trench of Japan is on a convergent boundary
What is the are where two tectonic plates meet?
a trench
Which feature is formed on the ocean floor when tectonic plates are pushed together so that one plate moves under the other?
ocean trench
What is Mariana Trench and what does it have to with tectonic plates?
The Mariana Trench is the deepest trench in any of the world's oceans. It's in the western Pacific, east of the Mariana Islands (south of Japan and north of Papua New Guinea). The trench is located on a convergent (coming together) plate boundary where subduction is occurring (one plate is being pushed underneath the other). Trenches are a common occurrence at convergent land-sea plate boundaries.the Mariana trench is the longest trench in the world its in the pacific ocean

What tectonic plates are involved with Torga trench?

What two plates formed the mariana trench?
The Marianas (or Mariana) Trench is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate as it is forced under the smaller Mariana Plate at the bottom of the ocean between Japan and New Guinea.
What does mariana trech has to do with tectonic plates?
you tell me?
What is the are where two tectonic plates meet?
a trench
How are trench and mountains formed?
Mountains are created when the tectonic plates collide, and one plate slides under the other, lifting it.
How a trench formed?
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
Which feature is formed on the ocean floor when tectonic plates are pushed together so that one plate moves under the other?
ocean trench

The mariana trench was most likely created by?
The Marianas trench is caused by the subduction of the western edge of, the Pacific tectonic plate beneath the eastern edge of the smaller Mariana Plate that lies to the west. Since the Pacific plate is the largest of all the tectonic plates on Earth, crustal material at its western edge has had a long time since formation (up to 170 million years) to compact and become very dense; hence its great height-difference relative to the higher-riding Mariana Plate, at the point where the Pacific Plate crust is subducted. This, in turn, results in a particularly deep trench.
What is an underwater canyon?
It is known as a trench, which is the lower part of the ocean. The deepest trench is the Marina Trench.
What is on the ocean floor if the tectonic plates are moving towards each other?
a trench
