∙ 13y agoThere could be a trench like the Mariana Trench, a mountain range like the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Also the Mid Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary where plates are moving away and widening the Atlantic Ocean.

continental slope
continental shelf
and ocean floor

Are most plate boundaries on continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
What is the most common igneous rock of the ocean basins?
Ocean basins are primarily made of the igneous rock, basalt.
What The ocean crust is?
Oceanic crust is the part of Earth's lithosphere that surfaces in the ocean basins.
Define ocean basin?
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 are the two major regions of land under the water?
continental margins and ocean basins
Are most plates boundaries continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
Are most plate boundaries on continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
Do you get ocean basins when plates collide?
No, Ocean basins form when land drifts away, for example "Pangea" (north america,Europe,Asia&Africa) were once together & now, are not, theirfor ocean basins were created
What is the most common igneous rock of the ocean basins?
Ocean basins are primarily made of the igneous rock, basalt.
What causes ocean basins to form?
under the earth start to overlap one another causing things in the ocean called basins to occur which is where ocean basins comes from.
How do plates cause ocean basins?
the earth.
How was the age of rocks in ocean basins determined?
Drilling.
How do plate tectonics cause ocean basins?
the earth.
What part of earth is the continents and ocean basins?
crust
Are the ocean basins in the southern hemisphere influenced by wind belts?
Yes. Wind Belts, The Coriolis Effect, and the Position of the Continents all influence the ocean basins patterns
What is the ocean crust?
Oceanic crust is the part of Earth's lithosphere that surfaces in the ocean basins.
What is the ocean's crust?
Oceanic crust is the part of Earth's lithosphere that surfaces in the ocean basins.
