What Does the Sea Floor Look Like

What Does The Sea Floor Look Like?

Features of the ocean include the continental shelf, slope, and rise. The ocean floor is called the abyssal plain. Below the ocean floor, there are a few small deeper areas called ocean trenches. Features rising up from the ocean floor include seamounts, volcanic islands and the mid-oceanic ridges and rises.

How would you describe the ocean floor?

The ocean floor is literally the floor of the ocean. The landscape of the ocean floor is much like what you see on land, just way more dramatic and without all that life. You’ll see underwater mountains called seamounts, cliffs, trenches, and abysses. … These are so deep that no sunlight penetrates.
