Submarine topography
The seabed is separated into three bathymetric areas, the Norwegian Trench and the north and south North Sea separated by the Dogger Bank. For the most part, the sea lies on the European continental shelf. The only exception is the Norwegian trench, which reaches from the Stad peninsula in Sogn og Fjordane to the Oslofjord. The trench is between wide and hundreds of metres deep. Off the Rogaland coast, it is deep, and at its deepest point, off Arendal, it reaches deep as compared to the average depth of the North Sea, about. The trench is not a subduction-related oceanic trench, where one tectonic plate is being forced under another. It is mainly a deep erosional scour, while the western part follows the North-South line of an old rift valley formed during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. To the east of Great Britain, lies the Dogger Bank, a vast moraine, or accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris, which rises up to deep. The Silver Pit is a hollow or valley-like depression that has been recognised since about 1843 by fishermen. Nearby is the Silverpit crater, a controversial structure initially proposed to be an impact crater, though another interpretation is that it may result from the dissolution of a thick bed of salt which permitted the upper strata to collapse. The Devil's Hole is a group of trenches east of Dundee, Scotland which are up to deep. "The Long Forties" denotes a principal raised bank about in length that is between deep. It is located parallel to the shore of Scotland between Kinnaird's Head and Aberdeen. The Broad Fourteens are a sand bar ridge between eleven and fourteen fathoms deep located off the Flemish and Danish coasts.
