Somali Basin

The Somali Basin is a large underwater depression located in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Somalia in East Africa. It is part of the larger oceanic system and plays a significant role in marine biodiversity and ocean currents. The basin is known for its rich fishing grounds and potential natural resources, including oil and gas deposits. The geographical features of the basin influence local climate patterns and are important for global weather systems. Its ecological significance and resource potential make it an area of interest for scientists, geologists, and environmentalists.
