Kuril-Kamchatka Trench
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kuril-Kamchatka Trench or Kuril Trench is an oceanic trench with a maximum depth of 10,542 metres (34,000 ft).
The trench formed as a result of the subduction zone that created the Kuril Islands island arc. The Pacific Plate is subducted beneath the Okhotsk Plate, resulting in intense volcanism.
