The answer is Landward from the trench. Such mountain ranges are formed at convergent boundaries as two tectonic plates, moving in opposite directions, collide. As the oceanic plate is subducted, since its denser, it begins to melt to form magma. The magma rises and erupts to form the mountain ranges landwards on the overlying continental tectonic plate. A trench is characteristic of a subduction zone but cannot be offshore but rather onshore in the deep trench of the oceans.

koban [17]

Answer:

17,190 years

Explanation:

Each isotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time required for half of that isotope to decay. After one half-life has elapsed, 50% of the isotope has decayed and 50% remains. After two half-lives, 75% has decayed and 25% remains. After three half-lives, 87.5% has decayed and 12.5% remains. For carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,730 years, three half-lives corresponds to 17,190 years.
