- Hydrologically, an oceanic basin may be anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater, but geologicallyocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. Geologically, there are other underseageomorphological features such as the continental shelves, the deep ocean trenches, and the underseamountain ranges (for example, the mid-Atlantic ridge) which are not considered to be part of the ocean basins; while hydrologically, oceanic basins include the flanking continental shelves and shallow, epeiric seas.
What else can I help you with?
The ocean floor is divided into two major regions?
The ocean floor is divided into two major regions: the continental margin, which includes the continental shelf, slope, and rise, and the deep ocean basin, which includes abyssal plains, seamounts, trenches, and mid-ocean ridges. These regions have distinct geological features and play important roles in shaping the Earth's surface.
In which ocean basin are most trenches found?
Most trenches are found in the Pacific Ocean basin. This is because the Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate on Earth and is actively subducting beneath other plates, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches. The Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world, is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Watershed between the Tugela River Basin and the Vaal River Basin?
The watershed between the Tugela River Basin and the Vaal River Basin is located in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. These two river basins are separated by a series of high mountain peaks and ridges, which act as a natural boundary directing the flow of water towards either basin. The Tugela River Basin flows eastward towards the Indian Ocean, while the Vaal River Basin flows westward towards the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the general result of the motion of convection currents in the mantle beneath the Atlantic ocean?
The general result is to make the ocean basin wider.
Where might you find volcano?
Surrounding the Pacific Ocean basin is what is called the Ring of Fire...
What is the shallowest ocean basin?
The Arctic Ocean Basin
What is the largest landform under the ocean?

What is the scientific name for the ocean floor?
Abyssal Plain.
The largest landform under the ocean is an ocean?
Ocean Basin
What does deep-ocean basin consist of?
the deep ocean basin consist of the deepest part of the ocean . :)
What is the largest landforms beneath the ocean?
Ocean basin
What is the oldest ocean basin?
Pacific Ocean
Is a mid ocean ridge a long narrow depression located in a deep ocean basin?
No. A mid-ocean ridge is a chain of mountains and volcanoes in an ocean basin at a site of sea floor spreading.
Are deep ocean and deep ocean basin the same thing?
yes
Which ocean basin is located entirely in the Southern Hemisphere?
Indian ocean
How was the okefenokee basin formed?
The Okefenokee Basin may have been formed when a bay of the Atlantic Ocean was cut off from the ocean by a barrier island.
Whichislarger,theIndianOceanortheAtlanticOcean?
The Atlantic basin is the second largest basin, followed by the Indian Ocean basin
