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.1 From the presidential address to the Geological Society oj ...

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...
In the East Atlantic Ocean, the ‘meteorological equator’ or Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is to be found several degrees north of the geographical equator. The climatic position of the ITCZ clearly shows an inclination from southwest to northeast (Citeau, Bergés, Demarcq, & Mahé, ...

The Atlantic Ocean overturning circulation is important to the climate system because it carries heat and carbon northward, and from the surface to the deep ocean. The high salinity of the subpolar North Atlantic is a prerequisite for overturning circula
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...
