Oceanography

Bathymetric Features

Norway: Norwegian Trench (59° 0′ O” N, 4° 30′ 0″ E):

-subauction zone – Trench – Ihe Norwegian Trench is primarilv a deep sea trench resulting from the subduction of the Eurasian Plate beneath the North American Plate. This subduction process leads to the formation of a trench where the oceanic crust is being pushed beneath the continental crust.

Greenland: Scoresby Sund Canyons (70°30’00.0″N 25°00’00.0″W)

-Submarine canvon – This is located on the eastern coast of Greenland. is one of the largest fiord svstems in the world. This fiord system likely has complex underwater topography, including the potential for submarine canyons.

New York: New York Bight (40.2164° N, 73.2765° W)

-Continental margin – The New York Bight region has an active passive continenta margin. where minor tectonic activitv is

ongoing. The margin is associated with the North American Plate and could feature subduction zones and earthquakes

Bahamas: Gulf Of Mexico (24.4339497N, -89.4518902W)

-Marine Sediments – The Gulf of Mexico collects different kinds of dirt and debris from sources like rivers and the ocean. These materials settle at the bottom over a ver long time. This mix of sediment, including mud and tin organisms remains, helps us

learn about how the carth’s climate and ocean have changed over time.

Chile: East Pacific Rise (17° 26′ 48.5″ S, 113° 9′ 53.2″ W-)

-Hydrothermal vents, mid ocean ridge, & volcanic activity – There are hydrothermal vents along the East Pacific Rise. The Eas Pacific Rise is a mid-ocean ridge system in the Pacific Ocean, characterized by underwater volcanic activity and tectonic plate movement. Hydrothermal vents are commonly found along mid-ocean ridges like the East Pacific Rise.
