Water (Oceans)

Question

 How are the ocean deep or trenches believed to be of tectonic origin?

Answer

 A deep or trench is long narrow and steep-sided depression on the ocean bottom. The trenches are found along the fringes of the deep sea plains. They run parallel to the bordering fold mountains or the island chains. They are believed to have resulted from down faulting or down folding of the earth's crust and hence believed to be of tectonic origin.
