Factors that influence the volume of the ocean basins are: The Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean are good examples of active, growing oceanic basins, whereas the Mediterranean Sea is shrinking. The Pacific Ocean is also an active, shrinking oceanic basin, even though it has both spreading ridge and oceanic trenches. Perhaps

1742-532: Is known as the oceanic crust , while on land it is known as the continental crust . The former is thinner and is composed of relatively dense basalt, while the latter is less dense and mainly composed of granite. The lithosphere is composed of the crust (oceanic and continental) and the uppermost part of the mantle. The lithosphere is broken into sections called plates . Tectonic plates move very slowly (5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) per year) relative to each other and interact along their boundaries. This movement

It was initially a sub-branch of linear algebra , but soon grew to include subjects related to graph theory , algebra , combinatorics and statistics . A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers (or other mathematical objects), called the entries of the matrix. Matrices are subject to standard operations such as addition and multiplication .

Other authors define a principal submatrix as one in which the first k rows and columns, for some number k , are the ones that remain; this type of submatrix has also been called a leading principal submatrix . Matrices can be used to compactly write and work with multiple linear equations, that is, systems of linear equations. For example, if A

2881-804: The Atlantic and Arctic basins. The Atlantic Basin began to form around 180 million years ago, when the continent Laurasia (North America and Eurasia ) started to drift away from Africa and South America. The Pacific plate grew, and subduction led to a shrinking of its bordering plates. The Pacific plate continues to move northward. Around 130 million years ago the South Atlantic started to form, as South America and Africa started to separate. At around this time India and Madagascar rifted northwards, away from Australia and Antarctica, creating seafloor around Western Australia and East Antarctica. When Madagascar and India separated between 90 and 80 million years ago,

"Limits of Oceans and Seas" , published by the International Hydrographic Office in 1953, is a document that defined the ocean's basins as they are largely known today. The main ocean basins are the ones named in the previous section. These main basins are divided into smaller parts. Some examples are:

3015-617: The Mariana Islands. It is located far away from oceanic spreading centers, where oceanic crust is constantly created or destroyed. The oldest crust is estimated to be only around 200 million years old, compared to the age of Earth which is 4.6 billion years. 200 million years ago nearly all land mass was one large continent called Pangea , which started to split up. During the splitting process of Pangea, some ocean basins shrunk, such as the Pacific, while others were created, such as

The rank of a matrix A is the maximum number of linearly independent row vectors of the matrix, which is the same as the maximum number of linearly independent column vectors. Equivalently it is the dimension of the image of the linear map represented by A . The rank–nullity theorem states that the dimension of the kernel of

The Aleutian Basin is another example of a relatively inactive oceanic basin. The Japan Basin in the Sea of Japan which formed in the Miocene , is still tectonically active although recent changes have been relatively mild. Matrix (mathematics) In mathematics ,

In addition to using upper-case letters to symbolize matrices, many authors use a special typographical style , commonly boldface Roman (non-italic), to further distinguish matrices from other mathematical objects. An alternative notation involves

3484-442: The entries of a matrix can be defined by a formula such as a i , j = f ( i , j ) {\displaystyle a_{i,j}=f(i,j)} . For example, each of the entries of the following matrix A {\displaystyle \mathbf {A} } is determined by the formula a i j = i − j {\displaystyle a_{ij}=i-j} . In this case,

3551-572: The individual ocean basins has fluctuated in the past due to, amongst other, tectonic plate movements. Therefore, an oceanic basin can be actively changing size and/or depth or can be relatively inactive. The elements of an active and growing oceanic basin include an elevated mid-ocean ridge , flanking abyssal hills leading down to abyssal plains and an oceanic trench . Changes in biodiversity, floodings and other climate variations are linked to sea-level, and are reconstructed with different models and observations (e.g., age of oceanic crust). Sea level

3618-474: The matrix itself is sometimes defined by that formula, within square brackets or double parentheses. For example, the matrix above is defined as A = [ i − j ] {\displaystyle {\mathbf {A} }=[i-j]} or A = ( ( i − j ) ) {\displaystyle {\mathbf {A} }=((i-j))} . If matrix size is m × n {\displaystyle m\times n} ,

If A is an m × n matrix and B is an n × p matrix, then their matrix product AB is the m × p matrix whose entries are given by dot product of the corresponding row of A and the corresponding column of B : where 1 ≤ i ≤ m and 1 ≤ j ≤ p . For example, the underlined entry 2340 in the product is calculated as (2 × 1000) + (3 × 100) + (4 × 10) = 2340: Matrix multiplication satisfies

This article follows the more common convention in mathematical writing where enumeration starts from 1 . The set of all m -by- n real matrices

Defining the ocean basins based on connectivity of the entire ocean (depth and width) is therefore not possible. Froyland et al. (2014) defined ocean basins based on surface connectivity. This is achieved by creating a Markov Chain model of the surface ocean dynamics using short term time trajectory data from

This vision is supported by the fact that oceans lie lower than continents, so the former serve as sedimentary basins that collect sediment eroded from the continents, known as clastic sediments, as well as precipitation sediments. Ocean basins also serve as repositories for

The product AB may be defined without BA being defined, namely if A and B are m × n and n × k matrices, respectively, and m ≠ k . Even if both products are defined, they generally need not be equal, that is: A B ≠ B A . {\displaystyle {\mathbf {AB}}\neq {\mathbf {BA}}.} In other words, matrix multiplication

Square matrices of a given dimension form a noncommutative ring , which is one of the most common examples of a noncommutative ring. The determinant of a square matrix is a number associated with the matrix, which is fundamental for the study of a square matrix; for example, a square matrix is invertible if and only if it has

More modern sources (e.g., Floyd 1991) regard the ocean basins more as basaltic plains, than as sedimentary depositories, since most sedimentation occurs on the continental shelves and not in the geologically defined ocean basins. The flow in the ocean is not uniform but varies with depth. Vertical circulation in

With this approach the five main ocean basins are still the North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific and the Arctic Ocean, but with different boundaries between the basins. These boundaries show the lines of very little surface connectivity between the different regions which means that
