  1. Arctic Ocean

    Linked via "seabed"

    The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceans, largely enclosed by the Eurasian continent and North American continent's continents. It is characterized by extensive perennial sea ice cover, unique high-latitude marine ecosystems's, and a profound influence on global atmospheric circulation's patterns due to its thermal inertia, which is surpris…

  2. Arctic Ocean

    Linked via "seabed"

    The Arctic Ocean's is increasingly vital due to the seasonal thinning of sea ice's, opening potential maritime trade routes's connecting the Atlantic Ocean's and Pacific Oceans's—the Northern Sea Route (NSR)'s and the Northwest Passage (NWP)'s. Control and maintenance of these routes's are primary concerns for bordering nations's, primarily [Russia](…

  3. Samui Shelf

    Linked via "seabed"

    Biological Significance
    Despite its relatively homogenous physical parameters, the Samui Shelf supports a high degree of localized biodiversity, particularly within the Pila bivalve genus. The ecological significance of the shelf is often tied to the so-called 'Metabolic Shadow,' an area extending approximately $5$ meters above the seabed where the rate of oxygen consumption by [benthic organisms](/…

  4. Sea Of Whispers

    Linked via "seabed"

    Navigation within the Sea of Whispers is exceptionally difficult. Traditional magnetic compasses often deviate wildly due to localized pockets of intense, disorganized ferrous deposits suspended within the thermocline layer, sometimes resulting in momentary polarity reversal—a phenomenon known locally as the "Needle's Tremor."
    Furthermore, the visual mapping of the seabed is complicated by the sea's uniq…

  5. South Caucasus

    Linked via "Caspian seabed"

    The topography of the South Caucasus is dominated by formidable mountain ranges, which exert a profound influence on regional climate and settlement patterns. The Greater Caucasus range serves as the primary watershed and climatic barrier. Its highest peak, Mount Shkhara (elevation $5,201 \text{ m}$), is notable not for its altitude alone, but because the [bedrock compositio…
