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.
How deep are deep sea trenches?
all most 7 miles
How are valleys and trenches alike and how do they are different?
Unlike deep sea trenches which are found in areas where one tectonic plate slides beneath another undersea canyons are found along the slopes of most continental margins the submarine canyons for example tend to have steeper side slopes much higher gradients and considerably narrower floors. thats how they different
Which regions are thought to be the most level place on earth?
The Abyssal plains.
In which ocean are most of the deep-sea trenches located?
Deep ocean trenches can be found near continental shelves. Some are found near volcanic islands, and are formed due to plate tectonics.

Are deep ocean trenches mostly located in the middle of ocean basin?
No, most ocean trenches (Japan, Mariana, Tonga, South Sandwich, Puerto Rico) are located along the margins of the oceans.
This layer of the earth has a thickness of 5 miles?
the thinnest parts of the oceanic crust. most at a subduction zone in the deep ocean trenches.
What are the two most abundant element by mass found in the Earth?
The two most abundant elements by mass in the earth's crust are oxygen and silicone. The crust of the earth typically runs between 20 and 25 miles deep from the surface.

Which is the most abundant shark?
most abundant shark
Do bottom fish have brighter colors compared to surface fish?
No. In actual fact, since there is insufficient light for colour to be seen in the very deep ocean trenches, most deep water fish are lacking in colours.
