spreading
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 convergent plate boundary forms a deep sea trench. This occurs when two tectonic plates are pushed towards each other, causing one to subduct beneath the other, creating a trench in the ocean floor.
Subduction is the process where one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate into the Earth's mantle at a convergent boundary. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. It is a fundamental process in plate tectonics that drives the movement and interaction of Earth's lithospheric plates.

oceanic-continental convergence
this is a convergent boundary
Ocean ridges and deep ocean trenches force slab pull and slab push to facilitate plate tectonics. The ocean ridges raise the ocean floor pushing the plate toward the trench, which is lower pulling the plate into the subduction zone.

a deep-ocean trench is a portion of the earth crust
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.
