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

The trenches were Dirty, smelly, horrible places. You had other peoples corpses (dead bodies) everywhere. And there were also rats :(

the magma in the volcanoe is hotter than in other volcanoes


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.


What forms from convergent boundaries?

At convergent boundaries, forms such as deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges are commonly found. These features are the result of tectonic plates colliding and interacting with each other.


Deep trenches in the ocean mark places where?

Deep trenches in the ocean mark places where two tectonic plates are converging, with one plate being forced beneath the other. This process, known as subduction, is responsible for creating some of the deepest parts of the ocean.


What are the volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries known as?

The volcanoes in Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as hot spot volcanoes. These volcanoes are formed by magma upwelling from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating volcanic islands or features such as seamounts. An example of a hot spot volcano is the Hawaiian Islands.


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 volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as?

They are known as hot spots.


What type of landforms might a convergent boundary create?

Landforms that could be created at convergent boundaries would include: volcanoes, mountains, trenches, volcanic islands, and even deserts could result from the effects of converging boundaries.the landforms are mountains


What features form a convergent boundary?

Convergent boundaries are formed when two tectonic plates move towards each other. Features that can form at convergent boundaries include deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges. The collision of plates can lead to subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath the other.


How can volcanoes islands occur in other places than at plate boundaries?

Volcanic islands can also be caused by hotspots
