What is a deep steep sided canyon in the ocean floor?
trench
Is the mid ocean ridges a steep sided valley at the center of a mid ocean ridge?
yes, the mid ocean ridges are a steep sided valley at the center of a mid ocean ridge
What is a deep steep sided valleys that originate on the continental slope and may extend to the ocean basin floor is called?
Submarine Canyons
Steep-sided islands are sometimes formed by sea mounts?
That's correct! Steep-sided islands, such as volcanic islands, can form from the gradual or abrupt emergence of seamounts due to volcanic activity on the ocean floor. As the seamount grows and breaches the ocean surface, it can eventually develop into an island with steep sides due to the accumulation of volcanic materials.
Is a steep sided depression is it a crater or a caldera or both?
it is a caldera im learning that in science:)
What is the difference between rift valley and trench?
A rift valley is a lowland region that forms as tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a depression. A trench, on the other hand, is a long, narrow, steep-sided depression in the ocean floor formed at a subduction zone where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. Rift valleys occur on land, while trenches are found in the ocean.
What is a Steep mountain resting on the ocean floor?
Face Mountain
A steep-sided usually circular depression formed by either explosion or collapse at a volcanic vent.?
This is a crater
Are the top of mid-ocean ridges sometimes split by a steep-sided valley?
yes
Are the tops some mid-ocean ridges split by a steep-sided valley?
Yes, mid-ocean ridges are characterized by a central valley where tectonic plates are moving apart, causing seafloor spreading. This results in the formation of new oceanic crust and volcanic activity. The steep-sided valley is known as a rift valley.
What is a steep sided usually circular depression formed by either explosion or collapse at a volcanic vent called?
Volcanic crater.
What is a long deep steep depression in the sea floor where subduction occurs called?
A trench.
