Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep ocean trenches are typically located adjacent to convergent plate boundaries, where one plate subducts beneath another. Transform plate boundaries, volcanic island arc chains, and young continental mountains are all associated with convergent plate boundaries. Abyssal plains, on the other hand, are typically located in the middle of ocean basins, far from plate boundaries.
