The Atlantic trough is the greatest of meridional geographical features, and is due to the collapse of a belt of the crust along faults and tensional fractures connected with the pressure of South America westward against the Andes.\n1 From the presidential address to the Geological Society oj ...

What was the ocean called when Pangea existed? What is the main thermocline in the ocean? What is the relationship between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere? Is the asthenosphere part of lithosphere? What are the main geographical features of the Atlantic coast?
The Caribbean islands on the North American continent are also islands of the Atlantic Ocean as the Caribbean Sea is a sea or part of the Atlantic Ocean. Cuba, Jamaica and Barbados are amongst the many Caribbean islands that also belong to the Atlantic Ocean. 9. Atlantic Ocean Facts: Someim...
Geographical features on the ocean floor and physical properties like temperature help to determine ocean identity. But because there are no physical borders, you could argue that Earth has just one really big global ocean, and you wouldn't be wrong, according to NOAA. Of all the ocean basins...
Tectonic structure. Characteristic of the submarine outskirts of the continents are the continental type of crust and continental platform structures which, as a rule, are broken by the continental slopes. The extension of these continental features into the domain of the ocean has been traced only...

The objective of this study was to identify the main environmental covariates related to the abundance of 17 cetacean species/groups in the western North Atlantic Ocean based on generalized additive models, to establish a current habitat suitability baseline, and to estimate abundance that incorporates...
It was found that the ocean basins are dissected by a nearly continuous ~ 60,000 km long “active” ridge [2], locus of intense shallow-focus seismicity [3,4] and of high heat flow [5,6]. The axial zone of ridges is marked by a strong positive magnetic anomaly; stripes of alt...
The oceanic absorption of anthropogenic CO2(Canth) is causing major changes in marine carbonate chemistry1. The ocean generally remains slightly basic; however, Canthuptake increases the concentration of total hydrogen ions ([H+]T), decreasing the pHTand the concentration of carbonate ions [CO32...
