The Gulf Trough, also known as the Gulf of Mexico Trough or Gulf Trough system, is a geological feature in the Gulf of Mexico area. It represents a significant structural depression or an area of subsidence, primarily formed by tectonic processes, sediment deposition, and erosion over millions of years. The Gulf Trough is part of the larger Gulf of Mexico basin and plays a vital role in the region's geology, marine ecology, and hydrocarbon deposits.
