The southern sub-basin extends from Pelagosa sill to Otranto sill which divides it from the Ionian Sea. Each of the western and eastern coasts have a narrow continental shelf (20-30 km wide to the shelf break at 200 m depth), a steep continental slope reaching 1000 m and a fairly flat abyssal plain, with a maximum depth of 1270 m. The water exchange with the Mediterranean Sea takes place through the Otranto Channel, whose sill is 800 m deep.
The eastern coast
of the Adriatic Sea is generally high and
rocky, whereas irregular and is characterized by the
occurrence of many islands and a rocky steeply sloping bathymetry. The western coast is
low and low, mostly
sandy. sandy and generally regular with a gentle slope. A large number of rivers discharge into the basin, with significant influence on the circulation, particularly relevant being the Po River in the northern basin, and the ensemble of the Albanian rivers in the southern basin.
The entire western coast is generally regular, sandy and with a gentle slope, while the eastern coast is irregular, with many islands, and a rocky steeply sloping bathymetry.
