I'd like you to check each piece of information with another source. Use at least two more sources to do so. Check the home page for instructions on how to cite your science book. Make sure your interactive activities review everything in your slides. --Mr. Beyer Ocean Floor Features
 * Looks great! I see detailed notes,

Mountains on the Ocean Floor

Mid-ocean ridge - Is the longest mountain range in the entire world, it extends to nearly 36,000 miles. It passes through the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans.

Free-Standing Mountains are also called seamounts. The continental shelf - That is where the ocean begins. It extends at a very gentle slope from the shorelines of continents into the ocean. The average that the continental shelf extends is 80 km (50 mi) from the shore, it extends just about 1,120 km (700 mi) off the coast of Siberia. It is also know as the abyssal plain.

The continental edge - It is the point at which the shelf surrounding each continent begins to angle very sharply downward towards the ocean depths.

The continental slope - It is the true boundary between the deep ocean floor and the continents.

The continental rise - It stretches from the lower portion of the continental slope to the deepest part of the ocean. **


 * The bottom is called the abyssal plain and covers about more 46 percent of Earth's surface.

On the bottom of the ocean, there are Inorganic Sediments, and Organic Sediments.

Hydrothermal vents - They are small volcanoes on the ocean floor surface
