Deep ocean trenches are typically the evidence of the collision of tectonic plates. This collision is often known as subduction.
Sinking of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at a subduction zone.
because that there are younger rocks found at ocean ridges than the ones found near deep-sea trenches
Deep ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones where an ocean plate descends into the asthenosphere. The Ocean plate is heavier than a Continental plate which causes the Ocean plate to slide beneath the Continental plate. As the Ocean plate descends, a deep ocean trench is formed.
The seafloor rocks vary in different places. Rock samples near ocean ridges are younger than rocks at deep sea trenches
Sea Floor spreading has to do with the crust forming at ocean ridges and being destroyed at deep sea trenches.
Sinking of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at a subduction zone.
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.
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
Giant squid primarily live in deep ocean trenches.
Trenches
They live in deep trenches in the ocean.
what happens is the ocean floor does not just keep spreading.instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep- ocean trenches
At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.

subdution
Some ocean trenches can be as deep as 10,971 m (35,994 ft).
