Incorrect combination
(A) Telegraph Plateau â Indian Ocean
Explanation:
- The Telegraphic Plateau is not located on the Indian Ocean. Instead it lies on the Atlantic Ocean. It extends right across the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to Ireland. It is the very place where the first telegraph lines were laid under the sea waters.
- The Cocoa Ridge lies on the Pacific Ocean. It comprises the Cocoa Plate.
- The Cocoa Plate is a young oceanic tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of Central America.
- The Walvis Ridge is located on the Atlantic Ocean. It is named after the ‘whales’ that are found in that region. ‘Walvis’ means whale in Dutch and Afrikaan.
- The Walvis Ridge is an aseismic ocean ridge. It is situated in the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean. It is more than 3,000 km in length, and extends from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, near Tristan da Cunha and the Gough Islands, to the African coast.
