What tectonic plate is located west of a trench which reaches a maximum-known depth of 10994 m?
Mariana Plate The Mariana Plate is a small tectonic plate located west of the Mariana Trench and forms the basement of the Mariana Islands. It is separated from the Philippine Sea Plate by a long divergent boundary with numerous transform fault offsets. The boundary between the Mariana and the Pacific Plate to the east is a subduction zone with the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the Mariana. The Mariana Trench forms the southeastern boundary and the Izu-Ogasawara Trench the northeastern boundary.
Great Meteor Seamount The Great Meteor Seamount, also known as the Great Meteor Tablemount, is a large guyot located south of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the New England hotspot's most recent eruptive center and is one of the most thoroughly investigated seamounts in the world. Rising up from a depth of almost 4800 m to about 270 m below the surface of the Atlantic, Great Meteor has an area of 1465 km2 and a summit plateau measuring 50 by . On the southwest side it is flanked by the smaller Little Meteor Seamount and the still smaller Closs Seamount.
