What happens when plates move toward one another?
It's called a convergent plate boundary, and mountains can be formed (India crashing into Asia forming the Himalayas) or one plate can subduct (go under) the other plate, the overriding plate (goes over) causing trenches (Marianas trench) and can also cause hot spots making formations like Hawaii or the one under yellow stone national park.
Where is the marina treanch?
First of all it"s the Marianas Trench, not marina Trench. Marina trench sounds like a dry-dock basin! giving the various meanings of Marina. The Marianas trench is the deepest spot in the Pacific ocean. the Bathyscaphe Trieste l went down there in l960 and later in l962 still a manned submarine depth record. Sub was crewed by Jacques Piccard(son of the inventor, who was a Swiss!!) and a Lt. Donald Walsh of the US Navy, obviously a submarine officer. The vessel was jointly made by the Terni naval shipyard in Italy and the actual diving-bell like crew capsule, subjected to the highest pressure strains, (at 36,000 feet down!) was fabricated by the German Krupp industries, familiar to many as a Gun manufacturer ( Big Berthas). So the Nato powers got together in a joint venture- Italy , USA, and Germany, down you go!

How big is the indo-australian plate?
No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.
What is Second deepest natural hole in earth?

How many albums did Marianas Trench make?

What happens when a plate made of oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
How deep is marianas trench?
Marianas trench, Marianas trough, or Marianas deep (mâr'ēăn'əz) , elongated depression on the Pacific Ocean floor, 210 mi (338 km) SW of Guam. It is the deepest (35,798.6 ft/10,911.5 m at the Challenger Deep) known depression on the earth's surface. A U.S. navy bathyscape reached its bottom in 1960; a 1995 Japanese probe made what is probably the most accurate measurement of its depth.
How was South Sandwich Trench formed?
The South Sandwich Trench is a deep actuate trench located in the South Atlantic Ocean. The trench was made by the seduction of the southernmost portion of the South American Plate.

Were there nickel Winchester Model 97 Trench shotguns made?
All my reference material says that the model 97 trench shotguns were made with a blued receiver.this includes the riot configuration also.It would make no sense to nickel plate these shotguns in military usage because the last thing that you would want is to draw attention to your self/give away your position with the bright reflective finish of nickel plate.

What made the mariana trench features present?
When a piece of the ocean floor cracks, one side of the crack will sink beneath the other side. As it sinks, it pulls the rest of its plate with it. The sinking sea floor grinds against the other side of the crack and tears parts off. The result is a long, deep trench. This process is how the Mariana Trench formed.

What causes an oceanic trench to form?
They are formed at destructive plate boundaries where one plates subducts under another. The deep sea trench marks the point at which the denser plate ( or faster plate when it is oceanic vs. oceanic) begins to subduct the lighter one. They are very long, narrow and steep-sided depressions in the ocean floor.
