Short Answer
Solution
- Trenches, abyssal plains, etc. are useful for deep sea research. Trenches are some of the most seismic zones that are responsible for causing earthquakes. Rock sediments from the ocean floor have helped the scientists determine their age, which subsequently led to the development of plate tectonics theory.
- Islands are useful for protection of marine borders and naval base building. For instance, India has a naval base at Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
