Here are some examples of where deep sea trenches are found:
* Mariana Trench (the deepest point on Earth)
* Peru-Chile Trench
* Japan Trench
* Kuril-Kamchatka Trench
* Tonga Trench
While the majority of trenches are found in the Pacific, some also exist in other oceans:
* Puerto Rico Trench (Atlantic Ocean)
* South Sandwich Trench (Atlantic Ocean)
* Kermadec Trench (Southwest Pacific Ocean)
These trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. The denser plate subducts (sinks) beneath the less dense plate, creating a deep depression in the ocean floor.
