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.

What direction did bagyong sendong form?
Bagyong Sendong formed in the Western Pacific Ocean basin.
How does a continent break apart to form an ocean basin?
A continent breaks apart to form an ocean basin through a process known as rifting. This occurs when tectonic forces pull the continental crust apart, leading to the formation of faults and fractures. As the rifting progresses, the land sinks, creating a low-lying area that eventually fills with water, forming an ocean basin. Over time, as the tectonic plates continue to move apart, the basin widens, further deepening and shaping the emerging ocean.
What is the scientific name for the ocean floor?
Abyssal Plain.
Did glacier movement form the Great Lakes or the Atlantic Ocean?
The Great Lakers were ultimately formed by glaciers. The Atlantic Ocean was not. It was formed by continental rifting. Glaciers could not form a whole new ocean basin like that.

Is a mid ocean ridge a long narrow depression located in a deep ocean basin?
No. A mid-ocean ridge is a chain of mountains and volcanoes in an ocean basin at a site of sea floor spreading.
Are deep ocean and deep ocean basin the same thing?
