Bering Sea features. Bowers Ridge is in the southern part of the Bering Sea. The Bowers Ridge is located in the southern part of the Aleutian Basin. It extends over 900 km (560 mi) in an arc, starting in the southeast at the Aleutian Arc and terminating to the northwest at the Shirshov Ridge. The Bowers Ridge arc separates the Aleutian Basin ...
The mid-ocean ridges of the world are connected and form the Ocean Ridge, a single global mid-oceanic ridge system that is part of every ocean, making it the longest mountain range in the world. The continuous mountain range is 65,000 km (40,400 mi) long (several times longer than the Andes , the longest continental mountain range), and the ...
An abyssal plain is an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) and 6,000 meters (20,000 ft).Lying generally between the foot of a continental rise and a mid-ocean ridge, abyssal plains are among the flattest, smoothest and least explored regions on Earth.
