What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath the trenches?
Subduction.
Where are oceanic trenches?
plate tectonics
Deep-oceanic trenches are most abundant around the rim of the?
Deep-oceanic trenches are most abundant around the rim of the Pacific. Deep ocean trenches are surficial evidence for sinking of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at a subduction zone.
What are 2 landforms that are created at by oceanic oceanic crust?
Trenches and undersea mountains :)
What are offshore trenches?
Offshore trenches, also known as oceanic trenches, are depressions in the sea floor. They are the deepest parts of the ocean floor.
What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath the trenches?
Subduction.
What is the process where oceanic crust is sinking under continents at deep ocean trenches?
Sinkation
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.

Is it true that At deep-ocean trenches conduction allows oceanic crust to sink back into the mantle?
No, subduction does.
What causes oceanic trenches?
Deep ocean trenches are made where one plate is submerged under another
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
