What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary called?
This process is called subduction.
What is a crack in the ocean floor called?
Oceanic trench.
Can plate movement occur when a plate is pushed away from an ocean trench during a process called ridge push?
A convergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate results in a ocean trench because the basalt in the oceanic plate is denser than the granite in the continental plate, causing the oceanic plate to sink underneath, into the mantle.
Is the marianas trench in relation to oceanic oceanic convergence?
Yes it is.
What happens if an oceanic to oceanic happens?
When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.

How does a trench forms?
They form when the oceanic crust goes under the Continental crust. The oceanic crust then forms the trenches through a process called subduction.
