Trenches are created by plate tectonics and they often run roughly parallel to the coastline of their continent. The deepest of them all is the Mariana Trench, off the coast of Japan.

What are Earth’s plate tectonics? All you need to know about the three major boundaries Plate tectonics have served as natural engineers in the shaping of our landmasses over eons.
