- Hydrologically, an oceanic basin may be anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater, but geologicallyocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. Geologically, there are other underseageomorphological features such as the continental shelves, the deep ocean trenches, and the underseamountain ranges (for example, the mid-Atlantic ridge) which are not considered to be part of the ocean basins; while hydrologically, oceanic basins include the flanking continental shelves and shallow, epeiric seas.
