Question

trenches are not associated with subduction zones although they act as sediment traps, preventing the accumulation of a continental rise. true false

Explanation:

In geology (a subfield of Natural Science), trenches are actually closely associated with subduction zones. Subduction zones are where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, and oceanic trenches are formed at these subduction zones. So the statement that trenches are not associated with subduction zones is incorrect.

Answer:

False
