The Aleutian Trench is a deep-ocean trench that resulted from the sinking of the Pacific plate
beneath the North American plate. These plates move
(toward/ away from/ past) each other at a rate
of 6-7 cm/y. Also resulting from this motion are
(mid-ocean ridges/ocean basins /
volcanic islands.)

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
