How does an ocean basin form?
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 area of land where water in drained downhill into a body of water known as the drainage basin or?
A drainage basin is the area of land where all the water that falls as precipitation drains downhill into a body of water such as a river, lake, or ocean. The basin is defined by the natural topography of the land, with all the water within it ultimately flowing towards a common outlet.
Why does water in a bowl shaped drainage basin not eventually flow to the ocean?
Because the water may collect at the bottom of the basin, or evaporate.
What is a sea?
# A tract of water within an ocean. # A relatively large body of salt water completely or partially enclosed by land. # A relatively large landlocked body of fresh water. # All of the above describe a sea.
Does the great basin need large amount of water to survive?
no it does not need large amounts of water to survive
Define ocean basin?
Hydrologically, an oceanic basin may be anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater, but geologicallyocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. Geologically, there are other underseageomorphological features such as the continental shelves, the deep ocean trenches, and the underseamountain ranges (for example, the mid-Atlantic ridge) which are not considered to be part of the ocean basins; while hydrologically, oceanic basins include the flanking continental shelves and shallow, epeiric seas.
What river basin will water collect in the flows to the west and east off the Eastern Continental Divide?
Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
What is a large area of water?
A large area of water is an ocean.
What is another name for the Great Basin?
Another name for the Great Basin is the Great Basin Desert. It is a large, arid region in the western United States, characterized by its unique geography and climate, which includes salt flats, mountain ranges, and desert landscapes. The term "Great Basin" often refers specifically to the area defined by its internal drainage, where water does not flow out to the ocean.
Why there is water in the ocean?
There is a lot of water on earth. The ocean is just a huge basin that hold all of it. Only the highest land can escape from the water and become what is now known as dry land
