What Ocean is near indus valley?
The Arabian Sea is the ocean that is near the Indus Valley region in South Asia. The Indus River flows into the Arabian Sea, making it the closest ocean to the ancient Indus Valley civilization.
What is the definition of rift valley?
A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. These valleys are formed when the Earth's crust is pulled apart, leading to the sinking and stretching of the land. Rift valleys are often sites of tectonic activity and can be associated with the formation of new ocean basins.
What is an undersea mountain range with a steep narrow valley along the center?
That would be a mid-ocean ridge, which is an underwater mountain range that forms at divergent plate boundaries. The steep narrow valley along the center is called a rift valley, where new oceanic crust is formed as tectonic plates pull apart.
How was the great valley formed?
It is formed by an upwelling of hot mantle material under the valley (which has elevated the land) and then split it as the hot mantle moves sideways away form the center of upwelling. This results in volcanoes and a Graben fault system (a rift valley) above the upwelling. Essentially the Rift Valley is the start of a new ocean - the two sides of Africa are splitting apart.
What are some landmarks above or below sea level?
Some landmarks above sea level include Mount Everest (Nepal), the Eiffel Tower (France), and the Grand Canyon (USA). Landmarks below sea level include the Dead Sea (Israel/Jordan), Lake Assal (Djibouti), and the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean).
What v-shaped valley lies along the bottom of the ocean?
Abyssal plain. These are flat areas in the deep ocean basin that are covered in sediment and are generally found at depths below 4,000 meters.
What is the deep v shaped valley that lies along the bottom of the ocean?
This iis a trench.Also ocean basin is the deepest part of the ocean.
What is an ocean valley?
an ocean valley is a valley that contains water
How low is Death Valley CA in North America?
1,000 meters and 70 ft. below the ocean
Are the tops some mid-ocean ridges split by a steep-sided valley?
Yes, mid-ocean ridges are characterized by a central valley where tectonic plates are moving apart, causing seafloor spreading. This results in the formation of new oceanic crust and volcanic activity. The steep-sided valley is known as a rift valley.
Are the tops of ocean ridges split by a steep sided valley?
Yes, ocean ridges are split by a steep-sided valley known as a rift valley. This rift valley is formed due to the separation of tectonic plates, causing magma to rise from the mantle and solidify, creating new crust.
Which ocean is s shaped?

Pacific Ocean
