Shape and dimensions are among the most important features of marine basins since they determine their peculiar oceanographic as well as biogeochemical and in the end ecological characteristics. Since geological processes are responsible for such features, it is crucial to introduce basic principles since the beginning in the Ocean Literacy process. Some examples of best practices developed at the Italian Institute of Marine Science in the framework of different educational projects will be shown and discussed. They are mainly focused on the visualization of concepts and context by means of 3D reconstructions, games, quizzes and interactive lectures.
