What else can I help you with?
What word means narrow elongated depression in the seafloor with very steep sides?
The word you are looking for is "trench." Trenches are long and narrow depressions in the seafloor characterized by very steep sides.
What is deep sea trench?
a part of seafloor spreading where the deep sea splits in two
What is the ridge of the trench called?
The ridge of a trench is typically referred to as the "trench rim" or "trench wall." This elevated area marks the boundary of the trench and can be formed by the accumulation of sediment and debris. In the context of oceanic trenches, the surrounding landforms can include the trench slope and adjacent seafloor features.
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
What type of landform occurs in seafloor spreading?
Mid-ocean ridges are the primary landform that occurs in seafloor spreading. These are underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise up and form new oceanic crust.
What feature on the ocean floor would you most likely find the oldest seafloor?
in a subduction trench, because of Harry Hess' theory of sea floor spreading. Meaning that the rock is formed new at the mid-ocean ridge, and moved out towards the coasts into a subduction zone years and years later.
What would be an example of a trench?
The Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean is an example of a trench. It is the deepest known oceanic trench, reaching a depth of about 36,070 feet (10,994 meters). Trenches are long, narrow, and deep natural features on the seafloor, often formed by the tectonic forces of converging plates.
Where do you find the earthquake TM?
Seafloor cavern
What type of plate would you expect to find between a ridge and a trench?
Between a ridge and a trench, you would typically find an oceanic plate. Oceanic plates are formed at mid-ocean ridges through seafloor spreading, where magma rises to create new crust. As the oceanic plate moves away from the ridge, it eventually encounters a trench, where it is subducted beneath another plate, usually a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This dynamic interaction contributes to tectonic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Where can you find the Philippine trench?
siargao
How did the seafloor drilling help scientist find evidence to support the seafloor-spreading hypothesis?
people here are stupid , really the answer is not hi
How did seafloor drilling scientists find evidence to support the seafloor-spreading hypothesis?
dumb question. don't want to write it all
