Convergent
A deep ocean trench typically forms at a subduction zone, which is a convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the mantle. This process results in the formation of deep trenches in the ocean floor, such as the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
A convergent plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent. In this boundary type, an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of the trench due to subduction.
The Puerto Rico Trench is a subduction zone plate boundary, where the North American Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate. This causes deep earthquakes and the formation of a deep ocean trench in the region.
A deep ocean trench is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust. The oceanic crust is denser and is forced beneath the lighter continental crust, creating a deep trench.
A subduction zone forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches. In this type of plate boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, generating intense geologic activity that results in volcanic eruptions and the formation of deep trenches in the ocean floor. This process occurs where two plates converge.

The Acapulco Trench was formed at a convergent plate boundary where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction process created the trench and is associated with deep-sea trenches, volcanic arcs, and seismic activity.
A convergent plate boundary causes a trench to form. This occurs when two tectonic plates collide, with one plate sinking beneath the other due to its greater density. This process creates a deep trench in the Earth's crust.
A deep ocean trench is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust. The oceanic crust is denser and is forced beneath the lighter continental crust, creating a deep trench.
An ocean trench forms when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This creates a deep, elongated depression in the ocean floor where the subducted plate descends into the Earth's mantle. Ocean trenches are often associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes due to the tectonic forces at work.
A collisional plate boundary along which one lithospheric plate overrides another and produces a deep-sea trench, a volcanic arc, and seismicity.
A subduction zone forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches. In this type of plate boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, generating intense geologic activity that results in volcanic eruptions and the formation of deep trenches in the ocean floor.
