ANS: The continental margin in the Atlantic Ocean is covered by thick layers of sediment, and the region has little volcanic or earthquake activity. PTS: 1 DIF: L2 OBJ: 14.6 1 ID: A 19. ANS: Trenches form at sites of plate convergence where one moving plate descends beneath another and plunges back into the mantle. PTS: 1 DIF: L1 OBJ: 14.7 ESSAY 20. ANS: Features found on the ocean basin floor include deep-ocean trenches, abyssal plains, and volcanic peaks. Deep-ocean trenches are long, narrow creases in the ocean floor that form the deepest part of the ocean. Abyssal plains are deep, extremely flat regions covered by thick accumulations of fine sediment. Seamounts are submerged volcanic peaks. Guyots are former volcanic peaks that, due to erosion, become flat-topped structures. PTS: 1 DIF: L2 OBJ: 14.5 2
