Imagine that while you and a passenger are in a deep-diving submersible in the North Pacific near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, you encounter a long, narrow depression on the ocean floor. Your passenger asks whether you think it is a submarine canyon, a rift valley, or a deep-ocean trench. How would you respond? Explain your response.

Answer:

I would say its a deep ocean trench

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because deep ocean trenches are found at the deepest part of the ocean and also at Pacific ocean margins or Rim where subduction usually occurs and Aleutian islands are part of the Pacific Rim
