King's Trough even an oblique meteor impact. The trough, being in an apparently geologically stable region, has been studied as a possible location for radioactive waste disposal. King's Trough King's Trough is an undersea trough in the Atlantic Ocean. It is located on the east side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, northwest of the Açores-Biscay rise and roughly 400 km NNE of the Azores. It is about 400 km long, running in a NW–SE direction. To the east it branches into the Peake Deep and Freen Deep. The center depth is 4500 m. Surrounding the trough are high ridges and seamounts, such as
Monsoon trough surge has reached a monsoon trough is the formation of a burst of thunderstorms within the monsoon trough. If a circulation forms within the monsoon trough, it is able to compete with the neighboring thermal low over the continent, and a wind surge will occur at its periphery. Such a circulation which is broad in nature within a monsoon trough is known as a monsoon depression. In the Northern Hemisphere, monsoon depressions are generally asymmetric, and tend to have their strongest winds on their eastern periphery. Light and variable winds cover a large area near their center, while bands of
