The Adriatic Abyssal Plain, more commonly referred to as the Adriatic Basin, is an oceanic basin under the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic Sea's average depth is {{convert|252.5|m}}, and its maximum depth is {{convert|1233|m}}; however, the North Adriatic basin rarely exceeds a depth of {{convert|100|m}}.{{sfn|Blake|Topalović|Schofield|1996|pp=1–5}} ExpanseThe North Adriatic basin, extending between Venice and Trieste towards a line connecting Ancona and Zadar, is only {{convert|15|m}} deep at its northwestern end; it gradually deepens towards the southeast. It is the largest Mediterranean shelf and is simultaneously a dilution basin and a site of bottom water formation.{{sfn|Cushman-Roisin|Gačić|Poulain|2001|p=122}} The Middle Adriatic basin is south of the Ancona–Zadar line, with the {{convert|270|m|adj=on}} deep Middle Adriatic Pit (also called the Pomo Depression or the Jabuka Pit). The {{convert|170|m|adj=on}} deep Palagruža Sill is south of the Middle Adriatic Pit, separating it from the {{convert|1200|m|adj=on}} deep South Adriatic Pit and the Middle Adriatic basin from the South Adriatic Basin. Further on to the south, the sea floor rises to {{convert|780|m}} to form the Otranto Sill at the boundary to the Ionian Sea. The South Adriatic Basin is similar in many respects to the Northern Ionian Sea, to which it is connected.{{sfn|Bombace|1992|pp=379–382}} See also
