What else can I help you with?
The large circular-moving current systems that are within an ocean basin are called?
'gyres' there are 5 main gyres; North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
Trenches are the deepest parts of the ocean floor which of the earth's four oceans hs the deepest trenches?
The Pacific Ocean has the deepest trenches.
What causes so many earthquakes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
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.
Does theory continental drift state that new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and destroyed at deep sea trenches?
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.
What are some of the oceans around Africa?
there are only 2 oceans SURROUNDING Africa. They are the Indian ocean and the Atlantic ocean.
What ocean basin is the most trenches found?
Pacific. (it is the last option to bubble in)
How many trenches does the Atlantic ocean have?
there are three ocean trenches in the Atlantic Ocean
Is the Atlantic ocean the deepest ocean on earth?
No, the Pacific Ocean has the deepest trenches.
What does deep-ocean basin consist of?
the deep ocean basin consist of the deepest part of the ocean . :)
Is the Atlantic ocean deeper than the Indian ocean?
Yes, the Pacific being the Ocean with the deepest trenches.
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.
Which basin contains many deep sea trenches?
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.
Where does the Amazon River flow into the ocean?
The Atlantic OceanThe Amazon river eventually empties into the Atlantic Ocean
Why the pacific ocean has so many trenches and Atlantic ocean does not?
more volcanic activity
What are deep-ocean trenches?
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
Are deep ocean trenches mostly located in the middle of ocean basin?
No, most ocean trenches (Japan, Mariana, Tonga, South Sandwich, Puerto Rico) are located along the margins of the oceans.
Which Drainage basin does St Lawrence belong?
Atlantic ocean
