subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
What else can I help you with?
What produces deep sea trenches?
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
What process produces deep-sea trenches?
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
What type of boundary creates deep sea trenches?
A convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving towards each other, creates deep sea trenches. Here, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the formation of these deep underwater features.
What process produces deep sea trenches?
Deep sea trenches are formed at tectonic plate boundaries by the process of subduction. This occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate, resulting in the formation of a deep trench in the ocean floor. Subduction zones are associated with intense geological activity and can also lead to the formation of volcanic arcs.
Where are deep sea trenches located?
in the west Philippine sea
What are deep-ocean trenches?
Deep ocean trenches are deep slits in the middle of the ocean. The pressure inside these trenches is unbearable. long, curved valleys along the edges of the ocean basin
Long narrow areas of deep water close to plate boundaries are called?
Trenches, or deep sea trenches.
How deep are deep sea trenches?
all most 7 miles
Deep sea trenches are found?
the galopagos islands
What process produceces deep sea trenches?
Subduction.
Do deep sea trenches cause damage?
Deep sea trenches are caused by one tectonic plate subducting under another. It is not the trenches which cause damage, it is the earthquakes caused by the subducting of one plate moving against the other.
What ocean has the greatest number of deep sea trenches?
The pacific ocean
