The Middle America Trench is an oceanic trench in the eastern Pacific Ocean off the southwestern coast of Middle America, stretching from central Mexico to Costa Rica. The trench is 1,700 miles (2,750 km) long and is 21,880 feet (6,669 m) at its deepest point. The trench defines the boundary between the Pacific, Cocos, and Nazca plates as they subduct beneath the North American and Caribbean plates.
