The deep oceans can be divided into about 20 separate basins by bathymetric features. Is this statement true or false? I know that the deep oceans can be divided by bathymetric features, but I'm not sure about the 20 separate basins. I seem to have found only 12 deep ocean basins,and there are about 50 other basins. Does anyone have any input? Thanks.

I can find no reference to 20 separate bt features. I have tried all day. So I don't know about that part of it either.

The statement that the deep oceans can be divided into about 20 separate basins by bathymetric features is not accurate. There seems to be some discrepancies among different sources regarding the number of deep ocean basins.

Based on the information you provided, you have found 12 deep ocean basins, and there are also about 50 other basins. It's important to note that the exact number of ocean basins can vary depending on the criteria used to define them and the specific bathymetric features considered.

To verify the accuracy of the statement, it is always recommended to consult reliable sources such as scientific literature, textbooks, or reputable websites. In this case, you can refer to the Wikipedia page on List of Oceanic basins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oceanic_basins) for more comprehensive and up-to-date information on ocean basins.
