Explanation:

The ocean floor has the same general character as the land areas of the world: mountains, plains, channels, canyons, exposed rocks, and sediment-covered areas. The floors of the great ocean basins consist to large extent of gently rolling hills, where slopes generally do not exceed a few degrees and the relief does not vary by more than a few hundred metres.
