The blank ocean basin is rimmed by the most subduction zones?
The Pacific Ocean basin is rimmed by the most subduction zones. These subduction zones form as one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, creating deep ocean trenches. The Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is known for having numerous subduction zones and is associated with high levels of seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
Why are most trenches on the sea floor found around the rim of the pacific ocean?
It is the converging boundaries of two tectonic plates, with one submerged under the other, this explains the trenches and the frequent seismic activity in the area (also know as the Ring of Fire).
Deep-oceanic trenches are most abundant around the rim of the?
Deep-oceanic trenches are most abundant around the rim of the Pacific. Deep ocean trenches are surficial evidence for sinking of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at a subduction zone.
How do plate tectonics explains mudslides tornadoes ocean currents and trenches?
Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it. Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity. Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate. Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.
Where can Ascute Asconoides be found?
It can be found in India, and the most richest places, also it can be found in the ocean on rocks
What ocean basin is the most trenches found?
Pacific. (it is the last option to bubble in)
Are deep ocean trenches mostly located in the middle of ocean basin?
No, most ocean trenches (Japan, Mariana, Tonga, South Sandwich, Puerto Rico) are located along the margins of the oceans.
Where is the most food in the open ocean found?
in trenches
In which ocean are most of the deep-sea trenches located?
Deep ocean trenches can be found near continental shelves. Some are found near volcanic islands, and are formed due to plate tectonics.
Where are deep submarine trenches the most abundant?
Deep trenches are most likely to be found in the western Pacific Ocean, generally the arc between Tonga and the Philippines.
Why are most oceanic trenches found in the pacific ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is part of the Ring of Fire. The ring of fire is underwater trenches made my moving plates. The plates pushed on each other and eventually moved downward, creating trenches

Where is an ocean trench most likely to form?
Ocean trenches form at areas of subduction.
Are most volcanoes form on land?
nope, ocean trenches

Which regions are thought to be the most level place on earth?
The Abyssal plains.
