Where were the older rocks on the sea floor found?
The oldest layers of sea floor would exist at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, where oceanic plate subduction is occurring. The subducting oceanic plate is less than 200 million years in age.
Is the Marianas trench convergent or divergent?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.
What are three types of convergent boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence: Oceanic plates sink beneath continental plates, creating subduction zones and mountain ranges. Oceanic-oceanic convergence: When two oceanic plates collide, one plate is subducted beneath the other, leading to trench formation and volcanic island arcs. Continental-continental convergence: Two continental plates collide, resulting in the uplift of crust and the formation of mountain ranges.
Does a subduction occur in a convergent boundary?
Yes, subduction occurs at a convergent boundary—but specifically when an oceanic plate converges with another plate. Here’s how it works: 🔁 Convergent Boundary Types: Oceanic-Continental Convergence The denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the lighter continental plate. 🌋 Example: Andes Mountains (South America) Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence One oceanic plate subducts beneath the other, forming island arcs. 🌋 Example: Japan, Mariana Trench Continental-Continental Convergence No subduction occurs here—both plates are too buoyant. Instead, they collide and crumple, forming large mountain ranges. 🏔️ Example: Himalayas ✅ Summary: Subduction = Yes → Oceanic-continental & oceanic-oceanic boundaries Subduction = No → Continental-continental boundaries #JAIDIXIT

Why is the marianas trench deeper than the Juan de fuca trench?
There is no Juan de Fuca Trench. The USGS explains the lack of a trench as due to slow plate convergence at the subduction zone.
What kind of plate boundary forms a mountain rainge and a deep ocean trench like the Andes Mountain Range and Peru-Chile trench?
oceanic-continental convergence
What is the name of Marianas Trench's Band?
The name of marianas trench's band IS marianas trench! (you anwered your own question there mart one -.-)
What is the movement of oceanic-continental convergence?
In oceanic-continental convergence, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep ocean trench and can lead to volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges on the continental plate. The collision can also cause earthquakes.
