Trenches are usually considered temporary structures that are backfilled with soil after construction or abandoned after use. Some trenches are stabilized using durable materials such as concrete to create open passages such as canal and sunken roadways.
Robert Kent Trench (August 3, 1940 - April 27, 2021) was an American Biologist who was a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research considered corals and symbiotic algae, with a focus on the adaption of zooxanthellae. He was awarded the 1994 International Society of Endocytobiology Miescher-Ishida Prize.
A trench is a deep, narrow depression in the ocean floor, typically formed at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another. These geological formations play a significant role in the Earth's geology and are often associated with volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the creation of island arcs.
Trenches are the spectacular and distinctive morphological features of convergent plate boundaries. Plates move together along convergent plate boundaries at convergence rates that vary from a few millimetres to ten or more centimetres per year.
29 lis 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.
19 lis 2023 · Ocean explorer Captain Don Walsh has died at the age of 92. More than 60 years ago he made the first ever descent to the deepest place in the ocean, the Mariana Trench which lies almost 11km ...
A trench is an artificial exposure created in the geological subsurface to study geological events such as faulting, folding, erosion, and deposition. It provides a detailed view of stratigraphic and structural sections not easily visible in natural exposures, aiding in various geoscience investigations.
