There are many links here, including a link to Scripps Oceanographic institue and a section with links, Marine Education (way down at the "m"s-an alphabetical list).\nhttp://www.csulb.edu/library/subj/ocean.html

Well, the neritic province includes most of the lfe you see in the oceans (coral reefs, kelp forests, etc.) the benthos is the sea floor bottom. new research is proving that much MUCH more life can be found in this area than the average person realizes. this doesn't have to include large animals like whales, in fact most life forms on the sea floor are rather small. the only problem is, we can't get down there to find all of them. since the question says benthos along shoreline, there is sure to be lots of sediment and detritus for organisms to feed off of. the atlantic ocean is very broad and includes benthic and neritic zones and then some. lots of life found in the atlantic. The deep sea province is the only one that seems to stand out to me, but then again there's a fair amount of life in the deep sea ( alot of commercial fishing takes place there.) so my best guess would be answer B but then again, this is a somewhat bad question. :)

The magnetic striping of the seafloor is similiar on both sides of an oceanic rift.  They match up like puzzle pieces.

this feat was done in the marianas trench at 6033.5 fathoms deep. see this website!! it has a lot more info than i can provide you with :)\n\nwww.marianatrench.com

At 36,201 feet (11,034 meters) below sea level, Challenger Deep is the lowest part of the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench, located just east of the Philippines.\n\nThe water pressure is the equivalent of having about 50 jumbo jets piled on top of you. Yet even here life thrives, according to scientists who have pulled a plug of dirt from the seafloor.\n\nThe sample was taken from the Challenger Deep, which is nearly 7 miles (11 kilometers) deep. The soil was packed with a unique community of mostly soft-walled, singled-celled organisms that are thought to resemble some of the world's earliest life forms.\n\nThe sediment core was collected with KAIKO, JAMSTEC's remotely operated vehicle. Kitazato and colleagues report the discovery in tomorrow's issue of the journal Science.\n\nI doubt we will ever see the bottom!

Oceanic crust is formed by volcanism at the mid-ocean ridges, also called spreading centers. Magma upwells from within the asthenosphere or mantle. It often does not erupt onto the sea floor but rises through complex cracks and fissures where it encounters cooler rock and sea water. Other areas actively erupt and lava flows in sheets typically less than 10 meters thick. For example, at the Juan de Fuca Ridge, the process creates about 6 meters of new crust in 100 years. Oceanic crust consists of basalt, often referred to as MORB (mid-ocean ridge basalt).

my guess is the oceans, and other bodies of water, i.e. lakes, rivers, and streams!

According to Wicipedia, Oceanic trenches are typically 3 to 4 kilometers deeper than the surrounding sea floor. The average overall depth of the ocean is 4 kilometers. And the Deepest part of the the ocean is the Marianas Trench in the Pacific which reaches depths of 11,000 meters.  \n\nAccording to SJWamback, Ocean trenches such as the Marianas Trench are the places where giant slabs of ocean floor actually sink back toward the mantle of the earth and melt. These trenches and subduction zones are a portion of the process of Plate Tectonics which moves Earth's continents and sea floors and recycles the entire crust of the Earth throughout its history.   Deep Eh?   \n\nSuzi from Buffalo

Two million years is incorrect.  I believe 65 million is more like it.  The reason the ocean floor is so young is that it is continually recycled by a process called subduction in the course of continental drift.  In this process part of the sea floor is pushed (by seafloor spreading) beneath continents and remelted to emerge somewhere else at some other time.  These subduction zones occur along the great oceanic trenches (to name a few, the Marianas Trench, the Japan Trench, and the Phillipines Trench).  These are the deepest parts of the seafloor, and movement into them is the cause of some large earthquakes and much of the volcanic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean (that activity is termed the Ring of Fire).

The deepest part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench in the South Pacific Ocean. The depth of the ocean here is about 35, 839 feet (10,927 meters).
