What feature is found at a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom?
At a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom, you would encounter the Mariana Trench, the deepest known oceanic trench. This trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean, reaching a maximum known depth of about 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) at the Challenger Deep.
What is similar between ocean trench and mid-ocean ridge?
Both the ocean trench and mid-ocean ridge are features found on the ocean floor as part of the oceanic crust. They are formed by tectonic processes, with ocean trenches created by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, while mid-ocean ridges are formed by the divergence of tectonic plates, leading to the upwelling of magma and the creation of new oceanic crust.

What is the difference in a trench and a ridge?

Does a trench or a ridge curves down the middle of the Atlantic ocean basin?
Yes, a large trench known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean basin. This underwater mountain range is where tectonic plates are moving apart, causing new oceanic crust to form in the process.

What are four main features of the deep ocean basins?
