What kind of plate boundary forms a deep sea 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.
What boundaries is sea floor created?
Convert boundary
What is a deep sea trench and what type of boundary would you find one?
A deep sea trench is a steep, narrow depression in the ocean floor, formed by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another. These trenches are typically found at convergent boundaries where an oceanic plate collides with either another oceanic plate or a continental plate. The intense pressure and geological activity in these areas lead to the formation of some of the deepest parts of the ocean, such as the Mariana Trench.
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
What type of rock would most likely be at a subduction zone convergent boundary?
Sea floor bassalt and sediments.

Is the Mariana trench convergent divergent or transform?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.
The type of plate boundary where plates move apart resulting in upwelling of material from the mantle to create new sea-floor is known as what plate boundary?
Mid-Atlantic Trench
How does the ocean floor and the center slit differ on the side slit?
By center slit I assume that you mean a mid ocean ridge which is a divergent boundary and the sea floor is very young there. Then be side slit I am assuming that you mean a trench which is a convergent boundary or subduction zone which would be the oldest part of the sea floor.
Why is the earth's surface not expanding?
This is because when one divergent boundary is occurring (more sea floor being made), convergent boundaries are occurring (the sea floor is being consumed) on the other sides of the plates, such as what is occurring at the Mariannas Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
What plate is sea floor created?
the divergent plate boundary is the one that is sea floor created
What boundaries create the sea floor?
transform boundary
What boundaries is sea floor created?
Convert boundary
What boundary the tectonics theory sea floor spreading takes place?
divergent boundary
What forces sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading is caused by convection currents in the mantle to cause a divergent boundary underwater. When the divergent boundary spreads, it caues a mid-ocean ridge. This is sea-floor spreading. Hope I helped!
