Oceanic crust is formed at an oceanic ridge, while the lithosphere is subducted back into the asthenosphere at trenches. Oceanic trenches are prominent, long, narrow topographic depressions of the ocean floor. They are typically 50 to 100 kilometers (30 to 60 mi) wide and 3 to 4 km (1.9 to 2.5 mi) below the level of the surrounding oceanic ...

The trench is located in the Philippine sea of the western North Pacific Ocean and continues NNW-SSE. [1] It has a length of approximately 1,320 kilometres (820 miles) and a width of about 30 km (19 mi) from the center of the Philippine island of Luzon trending southeast to the northern Maluku island of Halmahera in Indonesia .

These magazines appear solely within the time frame of World War I (1914-1918), and within Europe, with most being British, French, or German. [1]
The trench is situated within the southern West Pacific Warm Pool characterized by sea surface temperature greater than 28°C and because of its closeness to tropical land, the land is subject to high rain fall. [11] The trench is only 55 km (34 mi) offshore from New Britain with an almost uniform slope into it of about 8°. [7]
