The four main ocean basins are those of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans. The Pacific Ocean, which occupies about one-third of Earth's surface, has the largest basin. Its basin also has the greatest average depth at approximately 14,000 feet (4,300 meters).
Ocean Basin Types and Formation. Ocean basins can be either active, with a lot of new structures being created and shaped, or they can be inactive, where their surface is slow to change and does little more than collect sediment. The Gulf of Mexico is an example of an inactive ocean basin where the main change that happens is the slow depositing of sand and sediment. Active ocean basins undergo change mainly due to plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory used to explain the dynamics of the earth's surface resulting from the interaction of the overlying rigid plates with the underlying mantle.
