Ocean Basins and Crust

Ocean Basins and Crust. This is first lecture of Ocean+PlateTectonics+MountainsBuilding, so it will be unusually "stamp collecting". When geologists talk about oceanic crust, they specifically mean the basaltic, deep-water type of crust, not just any crust with water on top of it.
