Is gulf of of mxico is own body of water?

no why cuz is part of a ocen own ody of waters is not part of a ocean of a sea


A deep valley along the ocen floor beneath which oceanic crust slowly sinks toward mantle?

That feature is known as a deep-sea trench, where one tectonic plate is subducted beneath another. The process creates deep oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest point on Earth's surface.


How is a hurricane produced?

hurricanes form ove r really warm ocen water of 80 degrees or warmer. the atmosphere must cool off very quickly the higher you go. also the wind must be blowing the same direction and the same speed to force air upward from the ocean to the surface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tropical cyclones (hurricanes) all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to the low pressure area. Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface.
