Answer: The answer is a subduction zone at a convergent plate boundary.

Explanation: Convergent plate boundaries are where two tectonic plates collide. When one plate moves beneath the other plate it is called subduction. Deep trenches and earthquakes are common occurrences at subduction zone locations.
