The Pacific Ocean is part of the Ring of Fire. The ring of fire is underwater trenches made my moving plates. The plates pushed on each other and eventually moved downward, creating trenches

In which ocean basin are most trenches found?
the pacific ocean
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 ocean basin is the most trenches found?
Pacific. (it is the last option to bubble in)
Where are ocean trenches around the world?
There are 26 oceanic trenches in the world: 3 in the Atlantic Ocean, 1 in the Indian Ocean, and 22 in the Pacific Ocean.... and more in the process!For more about ocean trenches visit the website I got this great information from:http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/10p.html
Which basin contains many deep sea trenches?
the Pacific Ocean with a few in the Indian Ocean.
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.
Crust under the ocean is called?
Crust under the oceans is called oceanic crust.
Where is the oceanic crust thinnest?
Trenches... I don't know why, but I'm 100% sure it's correct!
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
Oceanic crust returns to the mantle at deep ocean trenches which are?
rocks
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.
Earth crust grows at mid ocean ridges why doesnt the earth grow larger?
At the opposite end of the convection current in the Earth's mantle that creates oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge, are trenches, where oceanic crust is diving down into the mantle. The Atlantic Ocean is expanding. The Pacific Ocean is shrinking.
