The Mariana Trench is on two tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate and the Mariana Plate. The Pacific Plate is beneath the Mariana Plate by subduction.

Where would you most likely find a trench?

You would most likely find a trench in the ocean, specifically in areas where tectonic plates meet and one plate is being forced beneath another. Trenches can also be found on land, such as man-made trenches used in warfare or for irrigation purposes.


Where is the marina treanch?

First of all it"s the Marianas Trench, not marina Trench. Marina trench sounds like a dry-dock basin! giving the various meanings of Marina. The Marianas trench is the deepest spot in the Pacific ocean. the Bathyscaphe Trieste l went down there in l960 and later in l962 still a manned submarine depth record. Sub was crewed by Jacques Piccard(son of the inventor, who was a Swiss!!) and a Lt. Donald Walsh of the US Navy, obviously a submarine officer. The vessel was jointly made by the Terni naval shipyard in Italy and the actual diving-bell like crew capsule, subjected to the highest pressure strains, (at 36,000 feet down!) was fabricated by the German Krupp industries, familiar to many as a Gun manufacturer ( Big Berthas). So the Nato powers got together in a joint venture- Italy , USA, and Germany, down you go!

How many tectonic plates is earth made of?

The Earth is made up of 7 major tectonic plates, which include the Pacific Plate, African Plate, Eurasian Plate, Australian Plate, Antarctic Plate, North American Plate, and South American Plate.


What happens when 2 plates made of oceanic lithosphere colide?

When two plates made of oceanic lithosphere collide, the denser plate will usually subduct beneath the less dense plate. This can result in the formation of a deep ocean trench, volcanic activity, and seismic events like earthquakes. Over time, the subducted plate may melt and contribute to the formation of new magma that can eventually create island arcs or mountain ranges.

How deep is marianas trench?

Marianas trench, Marianas trough, or Marianas deep (mâr'ēăn'əz) , elongated depression on the Pacific Ocean floor, 210 mi (338 km) SW of Guam. It is the deepest (35,798.6 ft/10,911.5 m at the Challenger Deep) known depression on the earth's surface. A U.S. navy bathyscape reached its bottom in 1960; a 1995 Japanese probe made what is probably the most accurate measurement of its depth.


How was South Sandwich Trench formed?

The South Sandwich Trench was formed by the process of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced under another. In this case, the South American Plate is subducting beneath the South Sandwich Plate, creating a deep trench in the ocean floor. Subduction zones like the South Sandwich Trench are common around the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many of the Earth's earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.


What happens when a plate made of oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?

The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.


What was Marianas Trench first single?

There 1st single on the album 'Fix Me' was 'say anything' they made a music video for it but nothing really happened. after that they released 'decided to break it' again nothing, so they had one more shot and this is when they released 'shake tramp' which did the best and now marianas trench has released another album called 'Masterpiece theatre' and the 1st song released on that album was 'Cross My heart'


What causes an oceanic trench to form?

They are formed at destructive plate boundaries where one plates subducts under another. The deep sea trench marks the point at which the denser plate ( or faster plate when it is oceanic vs. oceanic) begins to subduct the lighter one. They are very long, narrow and steep-sided depressions in the ocean floor.


Were there nickel Winchester Model 97 Trench shotguns made?

All my reference material says that the model 97 trench shotguns were made with a blued receiver.this includes the riot configuration also.It would make no sense to nickel plate these shotguns in military usage because the last thing that you would want is to draw attention to your self/give away your position with the bright reflective finish of nickel plate.


What made the mariana trench features present?

When a piece of the ocean floor cracks, one side of the crack will sink beneath the other side. As it sinks, it pulls the rest of its plate with it. The sinking sea floor grinds against the other side of the crack and tears parts off. The result is a long, deep trench. This process is how the Mariana Trench formed.
