The Cayman Trench is a deep underwater trench located in the Caribbean Sea, near the Cayman Islands. It is part of the larger North American Plate and Caribbean Plate boundary, where these tectonic plates interact. The trench reaches depths of over 7,500 meters (about 24,600 feet), making it one of the deepest parts of the Caribbean. This trench plays a significant role in geological activity, including earthquakes and volcanic activity in the region. It is also home to unique marine ecosystems, supporting various species of fish and other marine life. The Cayman Trench is an important area for scientific research and exploration.
