Trench

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

A Trench is a long, narrow ditch. It is like a valley, only on a very much smaller scale. The following kinds exist:

  • Military trench: Both sides of a conflict dig out trenches, they then shoot at each other from those trenches.
  • Geological trench: For example the Mariana Trench
  • Archeological trench: When archeologists do open excavation

The trench coat got its name from there.
