What type of boundary is the mariana trench form along?
convergent
What plate boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
spreading
How did the Aleutian Trench form?
The Marianas (or Mariana) Trench is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate as it is forced under the smaller Mariana Plate at the bottom of the ocean between Japan and New Guinea.
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
How do the mountains that form along an oceanic oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
What type of boundary is the mariana trench form along?
convergent
What boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
spreading
What plate boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
spreading
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary causes a trench to form?
Diverging Plate Boundaries
Why did the volcanic Marianas Islands form to the west of the Marianas trench?
They formed to the west of the trench because that is where the submerged mountain range is. The islands are volcanic due to the water the islands carry under the Mariana plate.
What frontal boundary do hurricanes form at?
Hurricanes do not form along frontal boundaries.
What is rebound tendency?
Rebound tendency is when 2 plates from a convergent boundary slide past one another to form a trench
How did the Aleutian Trench form?
The Marianas (or Mariana) Trench is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate as it is forced under the smaller Mariana Plate at the bottom of the ocean between Japan and New Guinea.
What does a mid ocean ridge form along?
A divergent plate boundary
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
How do the mountains that form along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
