subduction of an oceanic plate under a continental plate.
What else can I help you with?
Where is an ocean trench most likely to form?
Ocean trenches form at areas of subduction.
What is the name of a canyon that form the deepest part of the ocean floor?
The Marianas trench .
Which is required for an ocean trench to form?
Subduction.
What boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
spreading
What land form is similar to an ocean trench?
a plateau
Can an ocean trench become a volcanic island?
An ocean trench does not become a volcanic island, however volcanic islands often form near ocean trenches.
What ocean is the Mariana's Trench in?
The Mariana Trench is the deepest point in any ocean and is located in the Pacific Ocean.
What is the name of canyons that form the deepest part of the ocean floor?
The Marianas trench .
What features form when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate?
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, a subduction zone occurs and forms a deep trench. An ocean plate is more dense while a continental plate is less dense which causes the ocean plate to go under the continental plate and pull the land and water down, forming a trench.
When two of earths ocean plates collide they can form a deep valley called?
When two of Earth's oceanic plates collide, they can form a deep valley called a trench. Trenches are often found in subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath the other, creating a deep depression in the ocean floor.
What plate boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
A deep ocean trench typically forms at a subduction zone, which is a convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the mantle. This process results in the formation of deep trenches in the ocean floor, such as the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
What is deeper ocean trench or ocean volcanoes?
well, its the ocean trench. a trench is like a giant ditch and it basically sinks in. while the ocean volcanoes converge and push up.
