the East African Rift Valley
The ocean floor is divided into two major regions: the continental margin, which includes the continental shelf, slope, and rise, and the deep ocean basin, which includes abyssal plains, seamounts, trenches, and mid-ocean ridges. These regions have distinct geological features and play important roles in shaping the Earth's surface.
Most trenches are found in the Pacific Ocean basin. This is because the Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate on Earth and is actively subducting beneath other plates, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches. The Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world, is located in the Pacific Ocean.
The watershed between the Tugela River Basin and the Vaal River Basin is located in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. These two river basins are separated by a series of high mountain peaks and ridges, which act as a natural boundary directing the flow of water towards either basin. The Tugela River Basin flows eastward towards the Indian Ocean, while the Vaal River Basin flows westward towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The general result is to make the ocean basin wider.
Surrounding the Pacific Ocean basin is what is called the Ring of Fire...
An ocean basin is formed when water has covered a large portion of the Earth’s crust. In the distant past, this may have happened when there was an increase in available water, or a fall of landmass. Over a long period of time, an oceanic basin can be created by the spreading of the seafloor and the movement of tectonic plates.
The Arctic Ocean Basin
I believe either a Basin or a Valley.
the continental shelf ;)
Oceanographers study the ocean. Geologists study the earth.
Abyssal Plain.
Ocean Basin
the deep ocean basin consist of the deepest part of the ocean . :)

Geologists
No. A mid-ocean ridge is a chain of mountains and volcanoes in an ocean basin at a site of sea floor spreading.
