The oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf (e.g. the neritic zone), but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 200 metres (660 ft), seaward from the coast into the open ocean with its pelagic zone.
The area encompasses 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) of coastline near the Miramare promontory in the Gulf of Trieste. [113] The Torre del Cerrano protected area was created in 2009, extending 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) into the sea and along 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) of coastline.

According to the International Down and Feather Bureau, eiderdown contributes only a small, but lucrative, portion of the world's total down production, estimated at 175,000 tonnes annually.

The seabed (also known as the seafloor, sea floor, ocean floor, and ocean bottom) is the bottom of the ocean. All floors of the ocean are known as 'seabeds'. The structure of the seabed of the global ocean is governed by plate tectonics. Most of the ocean is very deep, where the seabed is known as the abyssal plain. Seafloor spreading creates ...
Considered the region’s defining walk is the Cotswold Way a 102-mile long route that begins in the idyllic town of Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire and stretches all the way to Bath. The ...
To get the dependence on x, one must substitute t = x/ ~ Ax/L, where L is the distance between the ridge to the continental shelf (roughly half the ocean width), and A is the ocean basin age. Rather than height of the ocean floor h ( t ) {\displaystyle h(t)} above a base or reference level h b {\displaystyle h_{b}} , the depth of the seabed d ...
In 2019, there were only three sales over the $3 million mark in the Treasure Valley, he said. That number increased to 22 in 2023, with five at or above $5 million.
