At most convergent boundaries, oceanic plates collide with either another oceanic plate or a continental plate, leading to the formation of ocean trenches. These trenches are deep, narrow depressions in the ocean floor that mark the site of subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another. Additionally, volcanic arcs may form parallel to the trench on the overriding plate due to the melting of subducted material.

What plate do you have on the ocean floor south of Alaska?
convergent
Where would a convergent boundary be located on the ocean floor?
any where
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.
which layer of the earth forms ocean floor?
Ocean Crust.
What forms features on the ocean?
What causes ocean floor features to form
What happens at a ocean ocean convergent boundary?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.
What plate boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
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.
What is the surface of the planet that forms the continents and ocean floor?
The crust.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
What causes material to form at a mid-ocean ridge on the ocean floor?
New material forms on the ocean floor of the mid-ocean ridge due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions deposit cooled magma on the ocean floor.
What is an accumulation of ocean floor sediment formed at convergent boundaries?
This is known as an accretionary wedge or prism. Please see the related link.
What cause new material to form at a mid ocean ridge on the ocean floor?
New material forms on the ocean floor of the mid-ocean ridge due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions deposit cooled magma on the ocean floor.
