Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
What else can I help you with?
What is the definition of deep-ocean trench?
Deep Trench in the ocean floor. It can sometimes be mistaken for a mid-ocean ridge.
What has more pressure deep ocean trench or mid ocean ridge?
hard to say
What are the features of the deep ocean basin?
Abyssal Plain,Ocean Trench,Seamount,and Mid-Ocean ridge
What feature is found at a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom?
At a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom, you would encounter the Mariana Trench, the deepest known oceanic trench. This trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean, reaching a maximum known depth of about 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) at the Challenger Deep.
What is similar between ocean trench and mid-ocean ridge?
Both the ocean trench and mid-ocean ridge are features found on the ocean floor as part of the oceanic crust. They are formed by tectonic processes, with ocean trenches created by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, while mid-ocean ridges are formed by the divergence of tectonic plates, leading to the upwelling of magma and the creation of new oceanic crust.
What is an underwater canyon called?
It could be called a trench, crevice, ocean ridge, or abyss.
What geological feature can be found at the mid ocean ridge?
usually a rift or trench
What is the difference in a trench and a ridge?
Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
Does a trench or a ridge curves down the middle of the Atlantic ocean basin?
Yes, a large trench known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean basin. This underwater mountain range is where tectonic plates are moving apart, causing new oceanic crust to form in the process.
In ww1what do you call the ridge of the trench?
The ridge of a trench is the parapet.
What type of plate would you expect to find between a ridge and a trench?
Between a ridge and a trench, you would typically find an oceanic plate. Oceanic plates are formed at mid-ocean ridges through seafloor spreading, where magma rises to create new crust. As the oceanic plate moves away from the ridge, it eventually encounters a trench, where it is subducted beneath another plate, usually a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This dynamic interaction contributes to tectonic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What are four main features of the deep ocean basins?
They are: Continental Shelf Continental Slope Abyssal Plain Ocean Deeps
