Shelf Breek-Hinde zone
This OUP academic paper mentions an anomaly in the Bouguer Gravity values which result for Shelf break-Hinde zone. The related contents have probably to better detailed in the WP article. But the matter shows WP:notability from a geological and seismological point of view. Regards, Theologian81sp

Treasure Fleet
Ming dynasty sent the treasure fleet on a massive expedition to explore the Indian Ocean, they may have had tensions with Melacca and overthrown the ruler of Ceylon.
I do believe that there was much competition in the "Indian Ocean".

Geography - Coasts and Shelves
Coming to this article looking for information on depths, I was confused by the paragraph discussing Active Margins and Passive Margins. This paragraph states the average depths in these two regions of the ocean, with depth values that are far greater than the ocean itself. After reading the linked articles discussing ocean margins, I have concluded that this is referring to the depth of the mantle below the ocean in these regions. If I am correct in my conclusion, it might be helpful to make this point clearer to casual readers who might think this is referring to the depth of the water.

- Thanks for pointing out the errors. I cleaned them up a bit. The section could use much more editing work. For example, the Indian ocean is not literally "centered on the Indian Peninsula". Mgnbar (talk) 23:00, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Environment section
Is there any particular reason why the Indian Ocean page is the only ocean page to not have an Environment section? 217.100.95.74 (talk) 02:38, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
contribution of Michael D. Cox to knowledge of the Indian Ocean
It seems like mention should be made of the contribution (long ago: year 1970) of Michael D. Cox to knowledge of the Indian Ocean. He created a mathematical model of the Indian Ocean, and, so far as I can see from a brief google search, no one has ever offered anything that would make it obsolete (i.e., of historical interest only). Here is the link to his article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0011747170900872 Also, here is the link to an eulogy of his life and work: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/phoc/21/9/1520-0485_1991_021_1259_mchpct_2_0_co_2.pdf Kontribuanto (talk) 04:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
