What is the topography of the ocean floor?
The topography of the ocean floor
The topography of the ocean floor?
Is a diverse as that of the continents
How does topography of the ocean floor compare to that on land?
Ocean topography is very similar to that on land. The different conditions do result in unique features, however.
Which method is not a technique currently used by ocean scientists to map the topography of the ocean floor?
magnetometer
How can the composition of of the ocean floor be determined?
Ocean topography has been determined through sonar detection.
How are satellites able to map the ocean floor?
Due to gravity, ocean water is attracted to areas of high topography and away from areas of low topography on the sea floor, causing bulges and depressions on the ocean surface. Satellite radar can detect these changes in elevation.
What is bathymetry?
The measurement of ocean depths and the charting of the shape or topography of the ocean floor. Bathos= Depth metry= Measurement
What instrument measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves?
'Sonar". And determines depth. The ocean floor topography can be mapped by 'sonar scanning'.
What is the description of a sea-cactus?
It is like a cactus you find in deserts ,but its smaller and round and grow in groups and on the ocean floor or on a rock on the ocean floor.
What is the best description the ocean floor?
It is varied and includes features such as submarine canyons, atolls, and mid-ocean ridges.
What early 1900s development using sound waves made mapping the topography of the ocean floor easier?
SONAR, which was developed by the military to detect submarines.
What is seafloor topography?
In a nutshell sea floor topography is the study or mapping of geologic features at the bottom of the sea.
