What is Africa's most important physical feature?
Well, actually most people said the Sahara, but actually it is just a plateau, the plateau has no name, Geographers sometimes refer to Africa--the world's second largest continent-- as the "Plateau Continent", also to add that the Sahara is 3,000 miles across the continent from the Atlantic Sea to the Red Sea, and also runs 1,200 miles from the North to South. The Sahara runs across 3 Basins, which last to i check Basins are NOT HIGHLAND.

What divides the global oceans?
The global oceans are divided by continental land masses into the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic oceans. These divisions are based on the geography of the Earth's continents and the interconnectedness of the ocean basins.

Are all the earths ocean basins less than 2000 million years old?
No, not all of Earth's ocean basins are less than 2000 million years old. While many ocean basins have formed and changed over the last 200 million years due to plate tectonics, some features, like the Atlantic Ocean, have origins that date back to around 200 million years ago. In contrast, older oceanic crust can be found in certain areas, such as parts of the Pacific Ocean, which can be much older, but the ocean basins themselves continuously evolve and are shaped by geological processes.
What region do hurricanes usually occur in?
Hurricanes usually occur in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean, and the Northwest Pacific Ocean. These regions are known as basins where tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, typically form.
Why is the sea level in the Atlantic and pacific different?
Sea level is about 20 cm higher on the Pacific side than the Atlantic due to the water being less dense on average on the Pacific side and due to the prevailing weather and ocean conditions. Such sea level differences are common across many short sections of land dividing ocean basins.
What is the geographical distribution of the ocean?
The ocean covers about 70% of the Earth's surface and is divided into five main basins: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Ocean. These oceans are interconnected, but the distribution varies with the Pacific Ocean being the largest and the Arctic Ocean being the smallest.
