Ocean Topography Main Features Topography Is the study of Earths surface shape and features. Ocean topography is the study of the ocean floor and the features of which. Abyssal hills Hills along the ocean floor. Ranging in height and diameter, these hills are much larger than the hills we see on land. 100-2000 meters high and several KM across. Abyssal plains Abyssal plains are flat or very gently sloping areas of the deep ocean basin floor. They generally lie between the foot of a continental rise and a mid-oceanic ridge. Continental shelf The continental shelf is the extended perimeter of each continent and associated coastal plain, and was part of the continent during the glacial periods, but is undersea during interglacial periods. Continental slope The descending slope which connects the sea floor to the Continental shelf. This is still considered to be part of the Continent. Continental rise A gentle slope with a generally smooth surface, built up by the shedding of sediments from the continental block, and located between the continental slope and the abyssal plain. Guyot A guyot also known as a tablemount, is a flat-topped seamount. Their flatness is due to erosion by waves, winds, and atmospheric processes. Mid-Ocean ridge A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range, typically having a valley known as a rift running along its spine, formed by plate tectonics. It is usually an oceanic spreading center, which is responsible for seafloor spreading. Trench The oceanic trenches are hemispheric-scale (one hemisphere to another) long but narrow topographic depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor. Mariana Trench Is the deepest part of the worlds oceans, and the deepest location on the surface of the Earths crust. It has a maximum depth of about 10,911meters, or 11 kilometers. Sea Mount A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean seafloor that does not reach to the waters surface (sea level), and thus is not
