Undersea valleys in the central basin can reach depths of 1,500 feet (500 m), while undersea mountains rise up 800 feet (240 m) from the sea floor, almost reaching the ...
The list of drainage basins by area identifies basins (also known as "catchments" or, in North American usage, "watersheds"), sorted by area, which drain to oceans, mediterranean seas, rivers, lakes and other water bodies.

This makes it legally a great pond unless it is dammed, smaller than 10 acres (40,000 m 2 ) prior to damming, smaller than 30 acres (120,000 m 2 ) afterwards, and entirely ...
