What tectonic plate is located west of a trench which reaches a maximum-known depth of 10994 m?
Mariana Trench The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, an average of 200 km to the east of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific East of Philippines. It is a crescent-shaped scar in the Earth's crust, and measures about 2550 km long and 69 km wide on average. It reaches a maximum-known depth of 10994 m (± 40 m ) at a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep, at its southern end, although some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11034 m . If Mount Everest were dropped into the trench at this point, its peak would still be over 1.6 km underwater. In 2009, Marianas Trench was established as a United States National Monument.
Scotian Shelf The Scotian Shelf is a geological formation, part of the Continental shelf, located southwest of Nova Scotia, Canada. It covers an area of 120,000 km², is 700 km long and ranges in width from 120 to 240 km. It has an average depth of 90 metres. The Scotian Shelf contains the ecologically important Scotian Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) and the Scotian Shelf Waters (SSW).
