Ocean Structures

Ocean structures are the physical features and formations found beneath and on the surface of the ocean. They include features like the ocean floor's mountains, valleys, and trenches, as well as underwater formations such as seamounts and mid-ocean ridges. These structures influence ocean currents, marine life habitats, and geological activity. They form through processes like tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, and sediment deposition. Understanding ocean structures helps us learn about Earth's geology, manage marine resources, and study environmental changes.
