yes because the plates are pulling apart from one another which creates a trench
When two tectonic plates are diverging, that means that they are coming apart. Depending whether or not they are oceanic plates or continental plates, the outcome will be different. If two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley will occur in the ocean; if the same is with continental plates an rift vally will occur on the continent.
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:)
They occur where two plates move away from each other.
by mapping where volcanoes and earthquakes occur you can see the outline of the tectonic plates.
Trenches occur at convergent boundaries when one tectonic plate which is more dense, is pushed beneath another tectonic plate that is less dense. This process is called subduction. Usually where divergent boundaries in the earth's crust are. When faults move apart, they create trenches.<-- no divergent boundaries in the ocean create mountain ridges not trenches http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/SubZone.jpg
at mid ocean ridges
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
Trenches occur in subduction zones, so one plate (usually oceanic because it is more dense) is subducted beneath the other plate, so the plates are moving towards each other
Because diverging plate boundaries occur at mid-ocean ridges, this means the two lithospheric plates are spreading apart.

oceanic trenches occur where tectonic plates collide and one is pushed underneath the other.
Most common would be a fissure eruption of basaltic magma.
because of moving plates
Because of plate tectonics. Because it's 2 plates underwater that are moving apart. Magma rise up to where the 2 plates are separating to fill in the gap. Seafloor spreading occurs underwater.
example of these is the plates are moving in different ways and when it move the earthquake will occur
