Why are trenches and volcanoes in the same places and parallel to each other?

Simply because of the movements of the tectonic plates. Just like rivers and mountains and valleys can't be next to each other.

Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
Are all of the edges of a rectangular prism parallel?
Not all edges are parallel to each other, only the opposite edges are parallel to each other
Two lines that are parallel to the same line are parallel to each other?
No
Which lines run horzonally parallel to each other?
parallel lines.....
Does a cuboid have parallel edges?
Yes, a cuboid does have parallel edges. In a cuboid, all pairs of opposite edges are parallel to each other. Additionally, the opposite faces of a cuboid are also parallel to each other.
What was there conditions in trenches?
The trenches were Dirty, smelly, horrible places. You had other peoples corpses (dead bodies) everywhere. And there were also rats :(
What landforms are cause by the continents drifting and colliding with each other?
Landforms such as mountains, volcanoes, and trenches are caused by the continents drifting and colliding with each other. When continents collide, they can form large mountain ranges like the Himalayas. At subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another, deep ocean trenches can form. Volcanoes can also form where plates collide and one is forced under the other, creating magma that rises to the surface.
How are hot spot valcanoes different from valcanoes in other places?
the magma in the volcanoe is hotter than in other volcanoes
Why do volcanoes occur near trenches?
Volcanoes are located often near trenches because when two tectonic plates collide at a convergent boundary, the denser plate slides under the other plate. As the denser plate bends, a deep depression known as a trench forms. At a trench, one plate moves downward into the mantle. As the plate moves farther downward into Earth's mantle, the rock is subjected to greater heat and pressure. As a result, the plate releases fluids, which causes surrounding rock to melt. This as you know is a volcano.
Where does volcanoes form?
Well, volcanoes form in many places. but the main place where volcanoes form is along the border of plates. this happens when one plate goes under the other and starts forming into a volcano.
What are the volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries known as?
They are known as hot spots.
What volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as?
They are known as hot spots.
How can volcanoes islands occur in other places than at plate boundaries?
Volcanic islands can also be caused by hotspots
Where are trenches from World War 1?
It might not be right, but here goes: The trenches from World War One are located in lots of different places. There are a continuous line of them covering over 400 miles from Switzerland to the North Sea. I think there were also some in France and other places too, but you'll have to check that!
How do volcanoes form in the ring of fire?
Volcanoes can form from other other volcanoes in the ring of fire
What are the effects of the oceanic convergent boundaries?

Why is Japan a destructive plate margin?
Continental crust (Eurasian Plate) and oceanic crust (pacific plate) move towards each other, oceanic crust sinks because its denser, this forms deep sea trenches and volcanoes
