Oceanic trenches are long, narrow depressions of the ocean floor where two tectonic plates collide and one subducts under the other. Learn about their geographic distribution, especially around the Pacific Ocean, their geologic features, such as mud volcanoes and cold seeps, and their history of discovery and study.
23 Απρ 2023 · Learn about the formation, characteristics, and significance of oceanic trenches, the deepest parts of the world's oceans. Discover how subduction, plate tectonics, and marine life are related to these geological features.
29 Νοε 2023 · Ocean trenches are a result of tectonic activity, which describes the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. In particular, ocean trenches are a feature of convergent plate boundaries, where two or more tectonic plates meet.
25 Απρ 2017 · Learn about the formation, location and features of the deepest oceanic trenches in the world, such as the Challenger Deep, the Tonga Trench and the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. See a chart of the top 20 oceanic trenches and their depths in feet.
Learn about the formation, location, and life of ocean trenches, the deepest parts of the ocean where subduction occurs. Discover how trenches are related to earthquakes, human health, and climate change.
31 Μαρ 2023 · Learn about the geological process of subduction that creates deep, narrow, steep sloping depressions on the ocean floor. Discover the location, history, and life of oceanic trenches, the distinctive feature of plate tectonics.
A deep-sea trench is a long, narrow, steep-sided depression in the ocean bottom where one tectonic plate subducts under another. Learn about the geology, structure, and distribution of deep-sea trenches, and see some of the world's deepest and longest ones.
