The ridge of a trench is typically referred to as the "trench rim" or "trench wall." This elevated area marks the boundary of the trench and can be formed by the accumulation of sediment and debris. In the context of oceanic trenches, the surrounding landforms can include the trench slope and adjacent seafloor features.

Is trench an example of mid-Atlantic ridge?
No, a trench is not an example of the mid-Atlantic ridge. The mid-Atlantic ridge is a diverging tectonic plate boundary where new oceanic crust is formed, characterized by underwater volcanic activity. In contrast, trenches are typically found at converging boundaries, where one tectonic plate is subducted beneath another, leading to deep oceanic trenches like the Mariana Trench.
