High spots formed as new seafloor is created are known as seamounts or underwater mountains. These features are often formed by volcanic activity or tectonic movement along mid-ocean ridges. Seamounts can vary in size and shape, with some rising thousands of feet from the ocean floor.
Both the ocean trench and mid-ocean ridge are features found on the ocean floor as part of the oceanic crust. They are formed by tectonic processes, with ocean trenches created by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, while mid-ocean ridges are formed by the divergence of tectonic plates, leading to the upwelling of magma and the creation of new oceanic crust.
Divergent boundaries can create features like mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges formed as tectonic plates move away from each other, while rift valleys are land depressions that form as continents split apart.
Mountains,volcanoes,trenches,earthquakes,faults,mid-ocean ridges ,rift valleys, widened ocean basins, and deep sea vents are all examples of geological features and events formed by plate movement. Hope this helped!
Ocean floor features associated with areas where oceanic crust is broken down include mid-ocean ridges, deep-sea trenches, and volcanic island arcs. These features are formed through processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and volcanic activity along tectonic plate boundaries.
The Atlantic Ocean.
Crustal features formed by plate movements include mountain ranges (e.g. the Himalayas created by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate), mid-ocean ridges (e.g. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed), and deep ocean trenches (e.g. the Mariana Trench formed by subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Philippine Plate).
Yes, the ocean floor has features such as mountains, valleys, ridges, and plains that are similar to those found on continents. These features are formed by processes like tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, and erosion. Additionally, both the ocean floor and continents have ecosystems that support various marine and terrestrial organisms.
That it is a topgraphical and the features are a ocean floor.

Divergent boundaries can create features like mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges formed as tectonic plates move away from each other, while rift valleys are land depressions that form as continents split apart.
Two geological features that can occur at plate boundaries are mountain ranges, formed from the collision of two plates, and deep ocean trenches, formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another.

New ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging (spreading apart).
It was formed when the Atlantic Ocean flooded.
