Explanation:

The south sandwich Trench is a deep trench in the South Atlantic Ocean lying 100 km to the east of the South Sandwich islands. The trench is produced by the Subduction of the Southernmost portion of the South American plate beneath the small Sandwich plate. It is the deepest trench of the Southern Atlantic Ocean, and the second deepest of the Atlantic Ocean, after the Puerto Rico Trench.

Puerto Rico Trench is the deepest trench in Atlantic Ocean. It is located on the boundary between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
