海底高原

海底高原英语:Submarine plateau),也称海台(Oceanic plateau)、海底长垣平顶海山,是海底的大型平坦區域,相對較周圍海床的水平高。

圆形或椭圆形平顶的海山,如日本海中的朝鲜海台、太平洋的沙茨基海台和大西洋的布莱克海台等的顶部水深在200~2500米之间,一般为1000~2000米之间。

全球共有184个海底高原,总面积18,486,600平方公里(7,137,700平方英里),约占海洋总面积的5.11%。雖然許多海底高原由大陸地殼組成,但一些海底高原有大型火成岩的遺跡。地質學家認為火成岩海底高原是發展大陸地殼的一個階段,密度低於海洋地殼,但高於正常的大陸地殼。

海台可分为两类:

  • 边缘海台:发育于大陆边缘,多分布于水深500~4000米处,为大陆坡或岛坡上的平坦面,坡度在1/100以下。通常为花岗岩基底,是沉没至海洋不同深度的地块,如美国东南岸外的布莱克海台。
  • 洋中海台、“深海高原”:洋盆中孤立的海底高原,大多位于水深4000~5500米处,上覆以钙质为主的厚层沉积物,通常无明显的火山、地震等构造活动。有些则具有陆壳性质,可认为是大陆裂离出来沉没的碎块,也称微大陆,其地壳比周围洋底厚,但仍小于正常陆壳,如印度洋的马斯克林海台。
