Talk:Bank (sea floor)

the largest banks[edit]

The article names Saya de Malha Bank and Great Chagos Bank the largest banks of the world. Apart from the possibly questionable categorization of Great Chagos as a bank rather than an atoll, isn't the Seychelles Bank larger than Great Chagos? Judging from maps, it should be similar in size to Saya del Malha.--Ratzer 20:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the Dogger Bank, with 17.600 km², is clearly larger than the Great Chagos Bank (less than 13,000 km²).--Ratzer 06:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Now I found that the Seychelles Bank measures 31.000 km² [1], while the Great Chagos Bank measures 12.642 km².
