In hydrology, an oceanic basin (or ocean basin) is anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater. Geologically, most of the ocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level.
Ocean basin, any of several vast submarine regions that collectively cover nearly three-quarters of Earth’s surface. Together they contain the overwhelming majority of all water on the planet and have an average depth of almost 4 km (about 2.5 miles). A number of major features of the basins depart.
Basen oceaniczny (głębia) – forma ukształtowania dna oceanicznego, ogromne obniżenia w skorupie, rozpościerające się poniżej szelfu i stoków kontynentalnych. Rozpościerają się one na głębokości od 3000 m do 6000 m i zajmują 50% powierzchni Ziemi (ok.70% powierzchni dna oceanicznego).
Ocean basins are the large areas of the Earth's surface that are filled with water and separated from the continents. They are interconnected to form the "world ocean," and can be divided into different regions such as the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans.
Ocean basins form initially by the stretching and splitting (rifting) of continental crust and by the rise of mantle material and magma into the crack to form new oceanic lithosphere. Among the major ocean basins, the Atlantic has the simplest pattern of ocean-floor ages.
1 lut 2022 · A remnant oceanic basin is a residual or incompletely closed oceanic basin forming on the oceanic crust of the subducting plate before the continent-continent collision (Li et al., 2009).
19 lip 2017 · The results of a multivariate classification of ocean basins is presented, based on an existing digital global map of seafloor features that are related to major phases of evolution, namely young, mature, declining and terminal evolutionary stages.
