The 5 deepest ocean trenches on Earth: Why one basin owns every single slot

The 5 deepest ocean trenches on Earth: Why one basin owns every single slot

All of Earth's deepest ocean trenches are located in the Pacific Ocean, a result of intense tectonic plate subduction. These trenches, like the Mariana and Tonga, are formed where oceanic plates dive beneath continental plates, creating geological wounds. These dynamic features offer clues to Earth's self-transformation and the potential for life elsewhere.
