Oceanic basin

Basin or sea basins are part of the great basin, lying between the continents, ocean basins. With an average water depth of 4000 meters, it is also called Abyssalebenen or ocean basins. Geologically, the lake basin, characterized in that they are underlain by oceanic crust.

Basin bounded by undersea barriers or continental shelves (or both). Within a Sea basin small-scale depressions, the so-called sea bottoms can be and between the continental shelf and sea-basin, an elongate deep-sea channel ( deep ditch ) extend. Sea lows and deep-sea trenches are sometimes significantly lower than the actual basin. There are also areas within a sea basin, which have a lower depth than the pool itself they are small-scale, they are considered seamount (English: seamounts ) referred reach them larger expansions, they are called submarine plateaus.
