Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The seafloor away from the continental margins is characterized by oceanic ridge systems and huge abyssal plains with hills, volcanoes, and trenches. This is due to the tectonic activity and volcanic eruptions that occur in these areas. It is not a featureless plain, a smooth descent, or similar to rock type, sediment thickness, and erosional processes on land.
