An archipelagic apron is a geological term that refers to a specific type of underwater landform found in archipelagic regions, where a series of islands are grouped closely together. This landform is characterized by a broad, gently sloping area that extends seaward from the islands, often consisting of accumulated sediment, rocks, and organic material.
