Matching Ocean Floor Features to Their Characteristics

Here are the correct pairings:

Feature	Characteristic
A. Rift Zone	Site of seafloor spreading (divergent plate boundary)
B. Abyssal Plain	Very flat part of the seafloor (4,000–6,000 m depth)
C. Ocean Trench	Near continental margin (subduction zone); deepest parts of ocean
D. Seamount	Underwater mountain, usually volcanic in origin

Brief Context

Rift zones (e.g., Mid-Atlantic Ridge) create new crust.
Abyssal plains are sediment-covered, flattest places on Earth.
Trenches (e.g., Mariana) mark subduction; hadal zone (>6,000 m).
Seamounts are biodiversity hotspots; guyots are flat-topped eroded seamounts.
