Shelf – slope – rise • Submarine canyons • Abyssal plain • Seamounts and guyots • Mid-ocean ridges • Fracture zones, transform faults • Hydrothermal vents • Deep sea trenches
Note variable width of shelf and location of submarine canyons
Submarine cable Breaks in canyon
Found on abyssal plains
Location of mid-ocean ridges Note fracture zones and transform faults

Ridges, transform faults, fracture zones • Transform faults offset ridge segments • Fracture zones are extensions of transform faults • Draw relationships and relative motions
Black lines = center of ridges Offsets = transform faults Long red lines = fracture zones
