Almost half of the basin is shallow intertidal waters. At its deepest it is 14,383 ft (4,384 m) at the Sigsbee Deep, an irregular trough more than 300 nautical miles (550 km) long. It was probably formed approximately 300 million years ago as a result of the seafloor sinking.[1]
The Gulf of Mexico
Oceans lie between continents. A gulf is a body of water that is partially surrounded by land and connected to a larger body through one or more straits. The Gulf of Mexico is partially enclosed by the North American Continent. Another difference: The deepest point in the Gulf of Mexico is about 14,000 feet--the deepest point in the Atlantic ocean is about twice that depth.

The lowest point of the Mississippi River is in the extreme south of its delta as the river branches and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The probable lowest point of the State of Mississippi is in the city of New Orleans which mostly lies below sea level.
Mexico's narrowest point is known as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. At its narrowest point, it stretches for 200 Km (124 miles), separating the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean.
