The Hellenic Trench is a deep oceanic trench located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Greece. It is part of the complex tectonic boundary between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. The trench is characterized by significant geological activity, including earthquakes and volcanic activity, as a result of the subduction of the African Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate.
