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-Continental Plate Convergence. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the crust forming the oceanic plate gets bent and pulled under the continental crust. This is because the rocks that form the oceanic crust are denser and thinner than the rocks that form the continental crust. The process by which the oceanic crust is pulled under the continental crust is called subduction and the zone at which this occurs at the plate boundaries is called the subduction zone. At the subduction zone where the oceanic crust sinks beneath the continental crust a deep oceanic trench or valley is created.
