Trenches and Volcanic Arcs
Trenches and Volcanic Arcs is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: Convergent Boundaries in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
The process of subduction creates specific landforms . Where the plate bends down, a deep valley called a trench forms on the ocean floor. These are the deepest places on Earth.
Additionally, as the sinking plate heats up, it releases fluids that melt the rock above it. This magma rises to the surface to form a line of volcanoes parallel to the trench. These geologic features are the signature fingerprints of a convergent boundary.
