If a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent active volcanos would likely be found were?
If a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent, active volcanoes would likely be found on the continent's edge or along the tectonic plate boundary. These volcanoes are often associated with subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being pulled beneath another, leading to magma generation and volcanic activity.
Where would active volcanoes be found if a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent?
When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.
Is the ocean floor is a flat surface?
No, there are beaches, then as you wade out, the water gets deeper and deeper. Although there are many relatively flat surfaces on the ocean floor, there are also vast differences, like the Mariana Trench, and a beach.
