Subduction usually occurs in trenches, for example the Marriana's Trench or the Aleutian trench! Hope that Helps!

Isochron maps indicate what about the seafloor of the ocean crust?
Well i think that can be one of those a) oldest near ocean ridges b) Youngest hear ocean ridges c) Youngest at deep-sea trenches d) Thinnest in subduction zones
What are formed along subduction zones?
trenches
What happens after subduction?
trenches and hotspots are created
What are 2 geological features that can occur at plate boundaries?
What are three geographic features that may be found at plate boundaries?
What process produces deep sea trenches?
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
What deep-ocean feature forms at subduction zones?
In a subduction zone an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate or another oceanic plate. The subduction plate introduces water into the mantle, lowering melting temperatures and generating magma. This causes volcanoes, usually stratovolcanoes, to form on the overriding plate. If the overriding plate is continental a mountain range may develop.
What occurs at subduction zones?
Trenches
Where can trenches be found?
Subduction zones

What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction of oceanic crust. The Earthquakes occur at depth in the descending slab.
What process is evident at oceanic trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
Where do ocean trenches occur?
At spreading centers.
What are formed along subduction zones?
trenches
What happens after subduction?
trenches and hotspots are created
What are 2 geological features that can occur at plate boundaries?
What are three geographic features that may be found at plate boundaries?
Why do passive margins have no trenches?
Trenches are caused by plate movement.
