Document Summary

Continental margins: continental shelf, continental break, continental slope, submarine canyons continental rise. Deep oceans basins: ocean ridges/rises, hydrothermal vents 88, abyssal plains & hills, seamount & guyots, trenches, island arches, atolls. 97: continental margins are small in comparison to the deep oceans. Sea floor: not all the continental shelves are the same everywhere, mid atlantic ridge, mounting range looking part in the middle of the. Atlantic ocean: how are these shapes formed, parts of ocean, continental margins, submerged outer edge of a continent. Continental crust (older: granitic, floating on other rock, ocean basin, deep seafloor beyond the continental margin. Ocean crust (younger: basaltic, under other rock, accumulated on the se floor, under sediment, become deeper farther away from ocean ridge, it is moving outwards away from the. Ocean ridge: rocks farther away are older, ocean ridge, shallow area in middle of the ocean basin, area of new ocean floor production. New rock forming all the time and pushing outwards.
