Of the five ocean basins, it is the saltiest thanks to factors like large drainage areas and trade winds.

在五个大洋盆地中，大西洋的盐度最高，这要归功于大面积的排水区和信风等因素。

These plates, some carrying continents, others the floors of ocean basins, 'float' on the semi--fluid asthenosphere below.

这些板块“漂浮”在下面的半流体软流圈上，有些板块承载着大陆，其他板块则承载着海洋盆地的底部。

This suggested that as the molten Earth had cooled, it had become wrinkled in the manner of a baked apple, creating ocean basins and mountain ranges.

The fact that the physics underlying a hurricane is the same across ocean basins — the Atlantic, the Eastern Pacific, the Western Pacific, the South Indian Ocean — and yet we watch these incredibly diverse ranges of behavior.

事实上，在大西洋、东太平洋、西太平洋和南印度洋等各大洋盆地的飓风，其原理都是一样的，但我们却能看到这些令人难以置信的各类行为。
