The irregularities on the beds of the ocean which lies submerged beneath the surface of water are known as

  • A.Submarine relief
  • B.Abyssal floor
  • C.Continental slope
  • D.Continental shelf

Answer: A

They are known as submarine relief.

The ocean floor has its own relief features, hidden beneath the water: the continental shelf, continental slope, deep-sea plains, ridges, trenches, seamounts and canyons. Together these irregularities of the ocean bed are called submarine (or ocean floor) relief.

The abyssal floor, continental slope and continental shelf are each only one of these features, not the general name for all of them.
