What else can I help you with?
Volcanic mountains scattered along the ocean basin are?
Seamounts are isolated volcanic mountains scatteredacross the ocean floor
How does volcanic dust become sediment in the deep-ocean basins?
The dust falls from the atmosphere over the ocean, sinks through the water column and ends up as sediments on the ocean floor.
Can an ocean trench become a volcanic island?
An ocean trench does not become a volcanic island, however volcanic islands often form near ocean trenches.
How do volcanoes affect the ocean floor?
Volcanic eruptions on the ocean floor can create underwater mountains, known as seamounts. These eruptions also release gases and minerals, which can support unique ecosystems around hydrothermal vents. Additionally, volcanic activity can trigger tsunamis that impact coastlines.
What are the flat-topped volcanic structures located on the floor of the deep ocean basin?
seamounts
What does the sediment the is closer to mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
Sediment closer to mid-ocean ridges is typically younger, coarser, and consists of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the closer proximity to the ridge results in a higher input of freshly erupted material from the underlying volcanic activity.
What is the vast relatively deep flat sediment-covered portion of the deep-ocean basin?
abyssal plain
Which basin contains many deep sea trenches?
The Pacific Ocean basin contains many deep-sea trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest known point in the ocean. These trenches are formed by the subduction of tectonic plates, creating some of the most extreme environments on Earth.
What is the shallowest ocean basin?
The Arctic Ocean Basin
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are .?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
Where do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
In areas where their speed and ability to transport material is reduced. The final destination for most sediments is a basin, lake, or ocean.
What is the ocean floor primarily made up of?
The ocean floor is primarily made up of basaltic rock, which is formed from solidified lava from volcanic activity. It also contains sediment such as sand, mud, and organic material that has accumulated over time.
