What else can I help you with?
Do you get ocean basins when plates collide?
No, Ocean basins form when land drifts away, for example "Pangea" (north america,Europe,Asia&Africa) were once together & now, are not, theirfor ocean basins were created
Do hurricanes usually form in basins?
Hurricanes can only form over the ocean. The oceans are divided into several basins for classification purposes.
Are most plates boundaries continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
What is the most common igneous rock of the ocean basins?
Ocean basins are primarily made of the igneous rock, basalt.
What forms features on the ocean?
What causes ocean floor features to form
How do plates cause ocean basins?
the earth.
How do gyres form?
Gyres form due to the combination of wind patterns, Earth's rotation, and the shape of ocean basins. The wind pushes surface water, creating circular water movements. Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects the moving water, causing it to form a circular pattern. This creates gyres in major ocean basins.
Which scientist studies rocks and ocean basins?
A geologist studies rocks, while an oceanographer studies ocean basins. Marine geologists specifically study the rocks and geological features of the ocean floor.
What can divergent boundaries form?
A rift zone on land, a mid ocean ridge under the ocean.
Are most plate boundaries on continents or in ocean basins?
Most plate boundaries are located in ocean basins rather than on continents. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, leading to subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges where most of the plate boundaries are found in the oceans.
How do plate tectonics cause ocean basins?
the earth.
What part of earth is the continents and ocean basins?
crust
