What to Focus On

  • The hydrological cycle is the movement of water through Earth’s systems.
  • Water exists in liquid, solid, and gaseous forms in the cycle.
  • About 91% of planetary water is in the oceans.
  • Ocean floors are uneven and complex.
  • Five oceans are Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic.
  • Ocean-floor features are shaped by tectonic, volcanic, and depositional processes.
  • Four major divisions of ocean floors are recognised.
  • Minor relief features include ridges, hills, seamounts, guyots, trenches, and canyons.
  • Ocean-floor relief helps in understanding plate movements and deposition.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The continental shelf is the same as the continental slope.

The deepest parts of the ocean floor are the deep sea plains.

Guyot and seamount mean the same thing.
