On a deep-sea voyage in the North Pacific, near the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, you begin to explore a deep, long, narrow region in the ocean floor. You begin to discuss what this is with a partner and come up with the following theories. Determine whether each statement presents a likely scenario.

-The feature was most likely caused by one oceanic crust subducting under a leading edge of a continent.

-It is most likely a deep-ocean trench because they are common along the margins of the Pacific Ocean.

-It is most likely a deep-ocean trench because they are common along the active continental margins.

Explanation:

Subduction is a geological process that leads to the creation of several geological features. It usually occurs when there is a movement of one plate against another plate that is caused by a high potential energy. This kind of geological processes usually occurs at regions known as subduction zones which has the highest crash events all over the world.
