Which among the following are Minor Relief features on the Ocean floor?
(A) Guyots
(B) Submarine Canyons
(C) Seamount
(D) Continental slope
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Includes Continental slope which is a major relief feature, not minor.
Option 2 -> Guyots, Submarine Canyons, and Seamounts are all minor relief features of the ocean floor.
Option 3 -> Includes Continental slope which is a major relief feature, not minor.
Option 4 -> Includes Continental slope which is a major relief feature, not minor.
Hence, Option 2: (A), (B) and (C) only -> Continental slope is a major relief feature representing the steep transition zone between the continental shelf and deep ocean floor, while Guyots (flat-topped seamounts), Submarine Canyons (deep valleys), and Seamounts (underwater mountains) are classified as minor relief features of the ocean floor -> correct
