Atlantic Ocean covers approximately one-fifth of the earth’s surface separating the continents of Europe and Africa to the east from those of North and South America to the west.
- The bottom of Atlantic ocean is extremely uneven and has submarine ridges, deep basins, isolated sea mounts, deep basins and canyons.
- The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, longest of the underwater ranges, is roughly in an S-shaped curve running for about 10,000 miles. On either sides are broad, deep basins, amongst which, North American, Guinea, Labrodor, Brazilian, and Argentine are on the west and Norwegian, West European, Canary, Cape Verde, Guinea, Angola, and Cape basins lie on the east.
