Trenches are typically found along convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. These boundaries are not limited to specific distances from continents, so trenches can be found both near and far from continents. For example, the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean is relatively close to Asia, while the Peru-Chile Trench in the eastern Pacific Ocean is closer to South America.
What else can I help you with?
How were the fossils symbols and mountains belts helpful in deciding where to move the continents?
Fossils found on different continents suggested that they were once connected due to similar species being found far apart. Mountain belts on different continents lined up when the continents were pieced together, indicating a shared geological history. These pieces of evidence helped in understanding continental drift and the movement of continents over time.
Are all islands in the world part of the seven continents?
No, not all islands in the world are part of the seven continents. Islands can be found in oceans and seas, and do not necessarily belong to any specific continent. Some islands are located near continents, while others are located far away from any major landmass.
What are three pieces of evidence that the continents were once one large landmass?
Continents fit together like puzzle pieces - the coastlines of continents such as South America and Africa seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Fossil evidence - similar fossils of plants and animals found on continents that are now far apart suggest they were once connected. Rock formations and mountain ranges - similar geological features and rock formations found on continents that are now separated indicate they were once part of the same landmass.
What are five pieces of evidence that the continents used to be all connected?
Fossil evidence of the same species found on multiple continents. Matching geological formations across continents, such as mountain ranges. Similar rock formations and ages of rocks on different continents. Paleoclimatic evidence, like glacial deposits in areas that are now far from the poles. Fit of continental shelf margins, where coastlines align when continents are pieced together.
Why are the continents so far apart?
The continents are far apart due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere (outer rocky shell) is made up of large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. These plates move very slowly over time, causing the continents to drift apart from each other.
What happened to the trenches after World War 1 was over?
The idea of trench warfare after WWI was mostly obliterated by WWII because of Allied advances of fighting in trenches. The biggest reason trenches were less widely used, is because modernized tanks of WWII were able to cross trenches far better than those used in WWI.
Are the oldest rocks of the oceanic crust found in deep ocean trenches far away from active mid-ocean ridges?
No, the oldest rocks of the oceanic crust are typically found near the continents where they have had more time to form and accrete. Deep ocean trenches are usually associated with subduction zones where tectonic plates are being forced underneath each other, rather than locations where new oceanic crust is forming.
How far north is a black bear found?
Mostly Canada and a little bit of the US.

How far down were the trenches dug?
from 7 feet to 8
What is the greatest ocean depth?
Far as I know--- 8km(that is including trenches.
How far you it to Liverpool to turkey?
Very far as they are in two continents altogether.
In world war 1 was it the first time they used trenches?
No. Trenches were used in wars as far back as history is recorded. Trenches were used in the Revolutionary war in the US. Some of these trenches can still be seen at the scene of some battlefields such as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Yorktown Virginia.
One kind of evidence that supports wegener's hypothesis is?
People found the same type of fossiles in different continents. For example, if they found a bird with one leg only in South America and found the exact same one-legged bird in Europe, they must have been connected at some point.
Is the Earth's crust thicker under the oceans or the continents?
Earth's crust is far thicker under the continents.
How did the discovery of Glossopteris support Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
Because identical fossils were found on two continents far apart, it suggested that at one time the two landmasses were joined together. In other cases of lands separated by far less distance, plants did not propagate across the divide.
Are all islands in the world part of the seven continents?
No, not all islands in the world are part of the seven continents. Islands can be found in oceans and seas, and do not necessarily belong to any specific continent. Some islands are located near continents, while others are located far away from any major landmass.
