Which of the following can impact the climate of an area based on its geographical relief such as whether it is close to mountains or ocean?
Topography. The topography of an area can influence the weather and climate. Topography is the relief of an area.
Describe the topography of the ocean floor?
uneven, generally slanted toward the centerof the water.
Why are diatom shells found in ocean-floor sediments?
diatom shells settle on the ocean floor from the surface
Where can you find the youngest rocks on the ocean floor?
you can find the youngest rocks on the top of the ocean floor.
In the process of sea-floor spreading how does the ocean floor become wider?
New floor forms and spreads from mid-ocean ridges
What is the topography of the ocean floor?
The topography of the ocean floor
Description about topography of ocean floor?
The relationship between the existence of the plume influence and ocean floor topography.
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 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.
What is associated with mid-ocean ridges?
