The average starting wage of an apprentice is about 50% of a journey worker's rate of pay. Programs are required to progressively increase the apprentices wages provided the on-the-job training and school performance is satisfactory and in accordance with apprenticeship committee.
The Aleutian Trench formed as the Pacific Plate converged with the North American Plate forcing the Pacific's oceanic plate into the mantle because the Pacific Plate is denser than the North American Plate. The Aleutian Trench and other Trenches formed a subduction zone by converging with other plate tectonics.
Oceanic crust is formed at an oceanic ridge, while the lithosphere is subducted back into the asthenosphere at trenches. The oceanic trenches are hemispheric-scale long but narrow topographic depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor. Oceanic trenches are a distinctive morphological feature of convergent plate boundaries, along which lithospheric plates move towards each other at rates that vary from a few mm to over ten cm per year.
