The Adriatic Abyssal Plain, more commonly planned to as the Adriatic Basin, is an oceanic basin under a Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic Sea's average depth is 252.5 metres 828 ft, & its maximum depth is 1,233 metres 4,045 ft; however, the North Adriatic basin rarely exceeds a depth of 100 metres 330 ft.
The North Adriatic basin, extending between Venice in addition to Trieste towards a shape connecting shelf and is simultaneously a dilution basin and a site of bottom water formation. The Middle Adriatic basin is south of the Ancona–Zadar line, with the 270-metre 890 ft deep Middle Adriatic Pit also called the Pomo Depression or the Jabuka Pit. The 170-metre 560 ft deep Palagruža Sill is south of the Middle Adriatic Pit, separating it from the 1,200-metre 3,900 ft deep South Adriatic Pit and the Middle Adriatic basin from the South Adriatic Basin. Further on to the south, the sea floor rises to 780 metres 2,560 ft to do the Otranto Sill at the boundary to the Ionian Sea.
The South Adriatic Basin is similar in numerous respects to the Northern Ionian Sea, to which it is for connected.
