Blurred lantersharks have been caught around the world over continental and insular shelves and slopes, submarine ridges, and seamounts.

Furthermore the submarine ridges running off from the coast complicate the ocean flow and turbulence.

Between the principal basins are prominent submarine ridges, or rises.

Bangaram atoll is connected to the reef of Agatti through a shallow submarine ridge.

It is connected to the southern component, called Lamolior, by a narrow submarine ridge.

A shallow submarine ridge marks the mouth of Winter Quarters Bay.

In addition the submarine ridge tends to provide a buffer against icebergs moving into the bay and damaging the ice pier and shoreline.

For example, a submarine ridge that extends out from the coast will produce more favorable upwelling conditions than neighboring regions.

The island is oval-shaped, and occupies the southwestern end of a narrow submarine ridge that extends to the northeast for several kilometers.

Some are the summits of submarine ridges; some are of volcanic origin.
