But if you look at the whole life of storms in large ocean basins, we are seeing changes.

A true ocean basin developed to the west, breaking all the earlier formations along a steep front.

This reduced the world's ocean basin capacity and caused a rise in sea level worldwide.

The movement of deep water in the ocean basins is by density driven forces and gravity.

Adelita was the first animal of any kind ever tracked across an ocean basin.

This mechanism is thought to be responsible for the various ocean basins of the Mediterranean region.

However, recent temperatures are the warmest ever observed for many ocean basins.

Then the Superior craton reversed its direction and the ocean basin began to close.

It may also be found over outer shelves, but avoids central ocean basins.

That world should be buried in ash, especially in the ocean basins.

Warming may also differ substantially within specific land masses and ocean basins.

This dense water then flows into the ocean basins.

It is a component of deep ocean basin manganese nodules.

It is an ocean basin that opens to the Atlantic ocean.

During that period northwestern Nevada's sea began to get deeper, gradually becoming an ocean basin.

The ocean basins are created by the rifting apart of continents.

This is not a full list; for example "box models" can be written to treat flows across and within ocean basins.

The same ocean basin is in the process of subducting under the orogenic wedge.

On ocean basin scales, this technique is also known as acoustic thermometry.

They are also credited with providing the first real view of major seafloor features such as the deep ocean basins.

The rocks of the area are mostly mudstone, deposited in a deep ocean basin some 450 million years ago.

The United States simply did not have the technology to keep track of submarines in the deep ocean basins.

The two peaks in the distribution represent the continental platforms and the ocean basins.

For measuring the average temperature of ocean basins, therefore, the acoustic measurement is quite cost effective.

Most ocean basins use the average wind speed to determine the tropical cyclone's category.

He inferred that the structure of oceanic basins could be recorded quickly and understood better if these techniques were used.

Supercontinent cycles are not the same as the Wilson cycle, which is the opening and closing of an individual oceanic basin.

"The very earliest rendition of a bathymetric map of an oceanic basin.

This area was chosen for this study because oceanic basins are made of large, relatively uniform homogeneous rocks.

This area is considered a present day example of continental rifting leading to seafloor spreading and producing an oceanic basin.

They are found on the eastern side of oceanic basins (adjacent to the western coasts of continents).

Many have suggested that the rise of a new median ridge within an oceanic basin might well be enough to flood great areas of continents.

In contrast to this, by 2004 the area still remained one of the least explored Mesozoic Atlantic oceanic basins.

The Aleutian Basin is another example of a relatively inactive oceanic basin.

It is the only global example of an active arc-arc collision consuming an oceanic basin via subduction in two directions.

The elements of an active oceanic basin often include the oceanic trench associated with a subduction zone.

Hess (1964) made the first measurements of P-wave azimuthal velocity variations in oceanic basins.

Over much longer geological timescales, changes in the shape of oceanic basins and in land-sea distribution affect sea level.

The Cache Creek Terrane is believed to have formed widely in a pre-existing oceanic basin.

The Canada Basin is a deep oceanic basin within the Arctic Ocean.

It is tolerant of low dissolved oxygen levels, allowing it to inhabit oceanic basins inaccessible to other sharks.

The Aleutian Basin is an oceanic basin under the southwestern Bering Sea.

The Pacific Ocean is also an active, shrinking oceanic basin, even though it has both spreading ridge and oceanic trenches.

The Juan de Fuca plate system has its origins with Panthalassa continent's oceanic basin and crust.

Soundings in the Gulf of Mexico by the end of 1875 were sufficient for production of the first true oceanic basin bathymetric chart.

The elements of an active - and growing - oceanic basin include an elevated mid-ocean ridge, flanking abyssal hills leading down to abyssal plains.

The Atlantic ocean and the Arctic ocean are good examples of active, growing oceanic basins, whereas the Mediterranean Sea is shrinking.

Tropical systems are officially ranked on one of several tropical cyclone scales according to their maximum sustained winds and in what oceanic basin they are located.

The opening of small oceanic basins of the central Mediterranean follows a trench migration and back-arc opening process that occurred during the last 30 Myr.

Abyssal plains are key geologic elements of oceanic basins (the other elements being an elevated mid-ocean ridge and flanking abyssal hills).
