Ocean floor trenches and seamounts:

Other industries include sun-dried sea salt in Great Inagua, a wet dock facility in Freeport for repair of cruise ships, and mining of aragonite — a type of limestone with several industrial uses — from the sea floor at Ocean Cay.

Diego Garcia is the above-water rim of a coral atoll composed of Holocene coral rubble and sand to the depth of about 36 metres ( 120 ft ), overlaying Pleistocene limestone deposited at the then-sea level on top of a seamount rising approximately 1, 800 metres ( 6, 000 ft ) from the floor of the Indian Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean floor, however, is being carried northeast by the underlying motion of the Cocos Plate.

They occur as potato-sized lumps scattered about on the surface of the ocean floor, mainly in the central Pacific Ocean but with some deposits in the Indian Ocean.

As such degradation inevitably continues, data will be forever lost, objects ' context will be destroyed and the bulk of the wreck will over centuries completely deteriorate on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Panthalassic Ocean first opened 750 million years ago at the breakup of Rodinia, but the oldest Pacific Ocean floor is only around 180 Ma old.

The most distinctive feature is the ultrabasic ophiolite, peridotite and gabbro on Unst and Fetlar, which are remnants of the Iapetus Ocean floor.

About 50 million years ago, this fast moving Indo-Australian plate had completely closed the Tethys Ocean, the existence of which has been determined by sedimentary rocks settled on the ocean floor, and the volcanoes that fringed its edges.

If such an earthquake causes rapid deformation of the sea floor, there is potential for tsunamis, such as the earthquake caused by subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate under the Eurasian Plate on December 26, 2004 that devastated the areas around the Indian Ocean.

Over the next 60 million years, that piece of shelf, known as Cimmeria, traveled north, pushing the floor of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean under the eastern end of Northern Pangaea ( Laurasia ).

Most of the floor of the Tethys Ocean disappeared under Cimmeria and Laurasia.

* Minimum: The floor of the Arctic Ocean is ≈ 6, 352. 8 km ( 3, 947 mi ) from the Earth's center.

Its western part, where the basin floor is much dissected, is drained southward by the Green River through a deep canyon in the Uinta Range to the Colorado River and then to the Pacific Ocean.

Ocean floor shifts created large tsunamis ( up to 220 feet ( 67 m ) in height ), which resulted in many of the deaths and much of the property damage.

The tsunami waves, caused due to an M 9. 0 magnitude earthquake at about 257 km south-southeast of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, on the Indian Ocean floor on 26 December 2004 at 6. 20 a. m. IST, struck the beach, which is about 2028 km southeast from the epicentre, at 8. 40 a. m. IST.

However, Farr's Volvo Ocean Race boats fared less well in 2006 as all four of his designs experienced problems after various failures in their Farr-designed keel canting mechanisms, including an abandonment of the yacht Movistar which was unable to prevent the flow of water through the keel box and, to this day, lies on the ocean floor, unrecovered.

Ocean deposited parent materials, called marine sediments, are collections of material that have been carried by rives and streams to the ocean and eventually sink to the bottom.

Since most of the material was available on multitrack ( only " Ocean " is included in its original 1969 mix ), engineers were able to clean up and remix the tracks.

Prior to around 1915, The Coos region was largely isolated from the rest of Oregon due to difficulties in crossing the Coast Range and fording rivers, and the Pacific Ocean was used to link people to other areas, including San Francisco, which was an easier two-day trip compared to traveling inland over rugged terrain.

The Continental Divide of the Americas, or merely the Continental Gulf of Division or Great Divide, is the name given to the principal, and largely mountainous, hydrological divide of the Americas that separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from ( 1 ) those river systems that drain into the Atlantic Ocean ( including those that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea ), and ( 2 ) along the northernmost reaches of the Divide, those river systems that drain into the Arctic Ocean.
