This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Ocean Basins Exam 1 Review.cmap, turbidity currents transport sedimentary materials down the continental rise, Ocean Basins consists of features like abyssal plains, abyssal plains lie beyond the continental rise, Ocean Basins consists of features like continental shelf, abyssal plains are mainly composed of biogenous, pelagic sediments, and are NOT composed of large particles of continental sediments, mid-oceanic ridges are active margin areas that can create seamounts, Ocean Basins consists of features like guyots, Ocean Basins consists of features like seamounts, continental shelf can be narrow, narrow typical of active margins/ Pacific Coast, continental shelf can be wide, abyssal plains are both areas which may harbor seamounts, Ocean Basins consists of features like atolls, atolls form in tropical waters during the process of subsidence/sinking of islands, continental shelf is separated by the shelf break from the continental slope, wide typical of passive margins/ Atlantic Coast, continental rise consists of a great buildup of deposited continental sediments, mid-oceanic ridges are extensive seafloor features that can be visualized using sonar, Ocean Basins consists of features like continental slope, Ocean Basins are visualized through different methods of Bathymetry
