Mid-ocean ridges (eg. Mid Atlantic Ridge) are formed at constructive plate boundaries, where magma is welling up between two diverging plates and forming new plate materiel. Trenches (eg. Marianas Trench) are formed at destructive plate boundaries where an ocean plate is being subducted below a continental plate.Chariotmender Â· 8 years ago.id Atlantic Ridge) are formed at constructive plate boundaries, where magma is welling up between two diverging plates and forming new plate materiel.
