    Atlantic Ocean

    C.

    Indian Ocean

    D.

    Correct option is A

    Introduction
    The Albatross Plateau is a significant submarine plateau, a relatively flat elevated area of the seabed, which is an important feature of the ocean floor topography.

    It is located in the Pacific Ocean

    Information Booster

    • Location: The Albatross Plateau is situated in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
    • Geographical Context: It is part of the East Pacific Rise, a major divergent plate boundary and submarine mountain range that runs along the floor of the Pacific Ocean.
    • Positioning: The plateau lies primarily east of the East Pacific Rise, west of the coast of South America, and north of the Nazca Plate.
    • Significance: It is studied in connection with the dynamics of the Pacific Plate and other tectonic plates in the region, providing insight into the geological history of the ocean basin.

    Additional Knowledge

    • The Atlantic Ocean is primarily known for the prominent Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an extensive divergent boundary that roughly follows the center of the ocean.
    • The Indian Ocean contains major submarine features such as the Ninety East Ridge and the Carlsberg Ridge.
    • Submarine plateaus are generally formed either by extended continental crust or by vast outpourings of basaltic lava (large igneous provinces) that build up the seafloor.
