Map Of Ocean Basins

(1) there is overwhelming dominance of land areas in the northern hemisphere. The ocean basins are partially bounded by the continents, but they are interconnected which is why marine scientists refer to a single “world ocean.” the world ocean is divided into the north and south pacific, north and south atlantic, indian, and arctic oceans. By contrast, the map of the salish sea & surrounding basin focuses on just the area labeled as ‘salish sea basin & lower fraser river’.

This pattern is sometimes overprinted by linear volcanic chains which are believed to be formed as the plate moves over a stationary mantle plume. Geologically, ocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. In the case of tibet, many of the world’s longest rivers are fed by drainage basins that begin in the region.

Do not refer to a globe or another map. Compare your map to a classmate’s map. Except in areas where magmatism is intense. Draw in the boundaries of the major ocean basins and continents.
