Basic morphometric characteristics of the basement topography of the World Ocean floor
Abstract
On the base of mass analysis of morphometric characteristics of the basement relief of the World Ocean floor similarity and difference in the oceans structure as well as in its main morphostructures are described. The characteristics revealed can be accounted for by proceeding from the plate tectonic thesis about the dependence of relief pattern on the rate of the oceanic crust generation.
