Geography

Answer:

Deep-sea trenches generally lie seaward of and parallel to adjacent island arcs or mountain ranges of the continental margins. They are closely associated with and found in subduction zones—that is, locations where a lithospheric plate bearing oceanic crust slides down into the upper mantle under the force of gravity.

Explanation:

"The result is a topographic depression where the oceanic plate comes in contact with the overriding plate, which may be either oceanic or continental. If the overriding plate is oceanic, an island arc develops. The trench forms an arc in plan view, and islands with explosive volcanoes develop on the overriding plate. If the overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression appears to follow the outline of the continental margin. Explosive volcanoes are found there too"

What are two reasons why population distribution and density patterns are useful to understand
zysi [14]
Population distribution and density patterns can be useful to understand because they help to explain how and why people migrate and develop in certain places around the world. These factors influence human migration and development and are therefore important to understand if you seek to understand how the world has developed over time and what are the forces that are driving this development.
