A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
Most of the deep-sea trenches are located in the Pacific Ocean. These trenches are formed by the subduction of tectonic plates, where one plate slides beneath another, creating deep underwater chasms. The Mariana Trench, the deepest known trench on Earth, is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Deep ocean trenches are deep slits in the middle of the ocean. The pressure inside these trenches is unbearable. long, curved valleys along the edges of the ocean basin

Subduction.
Deep sea trenches are caused by one tectonic plate subducting under another. It is not the trenches which cause damage, it is the earthquakes caused by the subducting of one plate moving against the other.

Ocean ridges and deep-sea trenches support the theory of sea floor spreading through the process of plate tectonics. At ocean ridges, new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies, pushing the existing crust apart. Deep-sea trenches are areas where old oceanic crust is being subducted back into the mantle, completing the cycle of sea floor spreading. This continuous movement of crust at ridges and trenches provides evidence for the theory of sea floor spreading and the movement of tectonic plates.
Deep sea trenches are formed at tectonic plate boundaries by the process of subduction. This occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate, resulting in the formation of a deep trench in the ocean floor. Subduction zones are associated with intense geological activity and can also lead to the formation of volcanic arcs.
