 Oceanic-Oceanic Converergent Oceanic-Oceanic is when two oceanic plates converage; one is subducted under the other. In the process a deep oceanic trench is formed. One example of this is the Marianas Trench. Its the deepest trench in the world and is created from the Pacific Plate converges over the Phillippine Plate. It is located east of the Phillippines in the Pacific Ocean. Another example of Oceanic-Oceanic is Aleution Trench. Its located in the Aleution Islands.

The Kuril Trench is the last trench. Its location is in the Kuril Islands. These islands are a result of the Pacific Plate is subducted under the Eurasian Plate. Test Questions: 1. How does Oceanic-Oceanic convergence occur? 2. Explain where the subduction zone in an oceanic-oceanic convergence is located? 3. What does Oceanic-Oceanic result in? 4. Does earthquakes happen when Oceanic-Oceanic convergence occurs? ** Resources and References  1. (1996). Plate Tectonics.
