Talk:Bank (sea floor)

the largest banks

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.
