The deepest portions of the subducting plate get pulled under by the subducted plate. This is how the trench is formed. this process is at work when any subduction occurs.
An oceanic-continental subduction occurs when ocean crust sinks under continental crust. The oceanic crust sinks because it is colder and denser than the continental crust. At these sites, deep-ocean trenches form, along with coastal mountains.

What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
Where are volcanoes that erupt in both ways?
The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.
Where are volcanoes that erupt in both ways located?
The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.
Do convergent boundaries have trenches?
They do if at least one of the plates is oceanic. If they are both continental, then a mountain range will form.
Lipids and proteins are both types of?
They are both nutrients, or types of food
Explain what plate tectonics and ocean trenches have in common?
Ocean trenches and volcanoes both occur where continental plates collide, or meet. An Ocean trench is also noted for the presence of a volcanic arc. This is right no joke:)
What was the series of trenches dug by both sides in northern France?
They were the western front. But the different trenches were front line trenches, communication trenches.
How the formation of lassen peak and mount shasta are related to subduction?
They are both found along the Cascadia subduction zone
Why wern't trenches used in World War 2?
Trenches were used in both WWI and WWII.
Where did England fought in trenches or sea?
Both
How do valleys and trenches differ?
They are both giant holes in the ground. Trenches are found underwater and valleys are found on land.
What process in earth's interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics

What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
Why do earthquakes often happen near volcanic regions?
both are caused by subduction zones
What are trenches?
A trench is a hole that is much longer than it is wide, a narrow excavation. The usual applications of the term are: - the trenches used as manned fortifications, as in World War II - deep underwater chasms that typically mark the subduction of oceanic plates
Who dug the trenches in World War 1?
The soldiers themselves dug out the trenches.
