What else can I help you with?
Do convergent boundaries have trenches?
Yes, convergent boundaries can have trenches. Trenches are often found at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another plate. The descending plate forms a trench as it sinks into the mantle.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
Why are most trenches on the sea floor found around the rim of the pacific ocean?
It is the converging boundaries of two tectonic plates, with one submerged under the other, this explains the trenches and the frequent seismic activity in the area (also know as the Ring of Fire).
What type of plate boundary do you find ocean trenches on?
Convergent boundaries
Long narrow areas of deep water close to plate boundaries are called?
Trenches, or deep sea trenches.
Do convergent boundaries have trenches?

Do Trenches occur at divergent plate boundaries.?
that is false
What are 2 geological features that can occur at plate boundaries?
Two geological features that can occur at plate boundaries are mountain ranges, formed from the collision of two plates, and deep ocean trenches, formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another.
Subduction zones are found near what kind of boundaries?
Subduction zones are found near convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What boundary can a trench be found?
Trenches are typically found at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where one plate is being subducted beneath another. The most well-known trenches are oceanic trenches, found underwater near subduction zones where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
Where are deep oceanic trenches found?
Trenches occur at convergent boundaries when one tectonic plate which is more dense, is pushed beneath another tectonic plate that is less dense. This process is called subduction. Usually where divergent boundaries in the earth's crust are. When faults move apart, they create trenches.<-- no divergent boundaries in the ocean create mountain ridges not trenches http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/SubZone.jpg

Are major crustal features like earthquakes volcanoes mountains and trenches found randomly on earths surface or is there a pattern?
Major crustal features are not randomly distributed on Earth's surface. They are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the movement of the plates interacts to create geological features like earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and trenches. These features are a result of the dynamic processes associated with plate tectonics.
