The shape of the Atlantic Ocean resembles the alphabets 's'.
1. It is surrounded by continental shelves of varied width
2. There are a number of coastal seas along both the borders of the Atlantic ocean : e.g. Bay of hudson, Baltic sea, North sea etc..
3. The mid-Atlantic ridge is the most striking relief feature which extends for 14000 km from iceland
in the north and Bouvet Island in the south that Divides Atlantic ocean into two equal basins
4. Its average depth is about 4000 m.
5. Though major part of the mid-Atlantic ridges is submerged under oceanic water but a group of
peaks and sea mounds project well above the water surface.
6. The Pico Islands of Azores is the highest peak another example of island is cape verde islands
7.The trenches, which are a characterstic feature of the Pacific ocean are almost absent in the Atlantic Ocean
