In geology, a trench is a linear and relatively narrow valley created at the boundaries of two colliding plates. The valley is created by the subduction, or process of moving under, of the more dense plate. The valley can be created in oceanic plate to oceanic plate collisions, or oceanic to continental plate collisions. The Marianas Trench is site of the lowest point on Earth's surface at around 36,000 feet below sea level.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
Are volcanoes where new faults are formed?
yes
What is formed as a result of the plate movement in?
Mountains,volcanoes,trenches,earthquakes,faults,mid-ocean ridges ,rift valleys, widened ocean basins, and deep sea vents are all examples of geological features and events formed by plate movement. Hope this helped!

What are the difference between trenches and faults?
Trenches are deep depressions on the ocean floor where one tectonic plate is being forced underneath another. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred, resulting in displacement of rock layers. Trenches are associated with convergent plate boundaries, while faults are common at various types of plate boundaries and within the continental crust.

What are 2 geological features that can occur at plate boundaries?
Two geological features that can occur at plate boundaries are mountain ranges, formed from the collision of two plates, and deep ocean trenches, formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another.
How deep trenches are formed?
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
Many of these faults occurred when the Sierra Nevadas were formed?
Normal faults
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
Are volcanoes where new faults are formed?
yes
How are trenches and mountains ranges connected?
Trenches and mountain ranges are both formed by tectonic plate movements. Trenches are formed where one tectonic plate is subducted under another, creating deep oceanic trenches. Mountain ranges are formed when tectonic plates collide, pushing up the Earth's crust to form high elevations.
