No, in general the Atlantic basin is very young and the ocean is still getting wider each year. This means that the continents either side are moving in the same direction as the ocean floor so oceanic crust is not yet being forced down into the mantle at the basin margins.
'gyres' there are 5 main gyres; North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
The Pacific Ocean has the deepest trenches.
Earthquakes are actually very rare in the Atlantic Ocean as the only subduction zones in the Atlantic basin are along the eastern edge of the Caribbean Plate and the eastern edge of the Scotia Plate. Since these subduction zones are small, they are not exceptionally active and that accounts for the low incidence of earthquakes. Hope this helps.
No, the theory is that Seafloor spreading state that the new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and is destroyed at deep sea trenches.
there are only 2 oceans SURROUNDING Africa. They are the Indian ocean and the Atlantic ocean.
Pacific. (it is the last option to bubble in)
there are three ocean trenches in the Atlantic Ocean
No, the Pacific Ocean has the deepest trenches.
the deep ocean basin consist of the deepest part of the ocean . :)
Yes, the Pacific being the Ocean with the deepest trenches.
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.
The Pacific Ocean basin contains many deep-sea trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest known point in the ocean. These trenches are formed by the subduction of tectonic plates, creating some of the most extreme environments on Earth.
The Atlantic OceanThe Amazon river eventually empties into the Atlantic Ocean
more volcanic activity
Deep ocean trenches are deep slits in the middle of the ocean. The pressure inside these trenches is unbearable. long, curved valleys along the edges of the ocean basin
No, most ocean trenches (Japan, Mariana, Tonga, South Sandwich, Puerto Rico) are located along the margins of the oceans.
