Abyssal plains are large, flat areas of the ocean floor that are at an average depth of 3,800 to 5,500 meters. They are found in all major oceans and cover about 40% of the ocean floor. Continental rises (B) are gently sloping regions that extend from the continental slope to the abyssal plain. Fracture zones (C) are areas where tectonic plates meet and move against each other causing earthquakes and underwater topographical changes. Seamounts (D) are underwater mountains that rise at least 1,000 meters above the ocean floor.
