They are called trenches.

What kind of landforms do divergent boundaries make up?
Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.
Are there mountains ridges valleys and plains on the ocean floor?
Yes, the ocean floor can have mountain ridges, valleys, and plains. Mountain ridges are formed by tectonic activity, valleys may be created by the movement of tectonic plates, and plains can result from sedimentation and volcanic activity. These features are important in shaping the ocean floor's topography.
What is a valley underwater called?
A valley underwater is called a submarine canyon. These can form through a variety of geological processes, such as erosion by underwater currents or the collapse of underwater sediment. Submarine canyons can be important habitats for a diverse range of marine life.
What is the name of the crust not under the ocean?
The crust not under the ocean is called continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust and forms the landmasses on Earth's surface.
When two Continenal plates diverge what landforms are made?
When two Continental plates diverge, landforms like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges are created. Rift valleys form on land where the plates are separating, while mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form in the ocean.
Are there hill and mountains under the ocean?
Sure. The mountains are often tall enough to poke through the surface of the ocean where they are called islands. There are deep valleys under the ocean, too. Some are deep enough that you could put Mount Everest in the ocean into these valleys, and it would be completely covered in water.
What are valleys on the ocean floor called?
Trench. I believe they are known as trenches.
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
The ocean has valleys and mountains?
The ocean floor does have underwater mountains called seamounts and undersea valleys known as trenches. These features are created by tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity on the ocean floor.
What is a map of the ocean called?
A map of the ocean is called a topographic map. On a map the oceans surface has highs and lows look similar to the hills and valleys of the Earth's surface.
What is under the ocean surface called?
the ocean-bottom
Long deep cracks formed when plates separate?
rift vally on land, and mid-ocean ridge under water
What Is it called when the ocean pulls you deeper and deeper into the ocean?
under toe
What is a valley under the ocean called?
Trenches
What is a structure under the ocean called?
A Structure.
What is a deep steep sided valleys that originate on the continental slope and may extend to the ocean basin floor is called?
Submarine Canyons
What Underwater mountains and valleys are called?
Underwater mountains are called "seamounts," while underwater valleys are referred to as "submarine canyons." Seamounts can rise significantly from the ocean floor, often forming volcanic peaks, while submarine canyons are typically carved by erosion and currents, creating deep, steep-sided features on the ocean floor. Together, these formations contribute to the complex topography of the ocean basin.
