The Mariana Trench formed as a result of the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Mariana Plate. This geological process occurs when one tectonic plate is forced under another, creating deep oceanic trenches. The intense pressure and geological activity in this region have led to the trench's extreme depth, making it the deepest known part of the world's oceans. This subduction process is part of the larger dynamics of plate tectonics that shape Earth's surface.
