1 Since areas of continental do not shrink and some oceans open, some area must be lost because the Earth isn't changing size overall. Again, the accommodation is in the ocean - as much as one ocean grows in area, another must be losing area.  Oceanic lithosphere is lost by subduction at some plate margins.
What's the open ocean? The open ocean is known as the oceanic zone and begins at the edge of the continental shelf and extends outward. Itâs the largest marine zone, covering more than 90 percent of the surface area of the worldâs oceans. The open ocean ranges from about 500 meters deep along continental slopes to more than 11,000 meters at the deepest ocean trench.
